Did some digging, turns out the Pegasus Museum building was at one point a DIY music venue called Paper Sun. Here's a Facebook local business page. Last post from 2014 and appears to be closed.
"If it wasn’t for the telltale black balloons hanging outside a Columbia Heights alleyway, you might not have been able to find Paper Sun — a two-story warehouse/art space where local bands practice and sometimes even play intimate shows. The cloistered garage provides a great off-the-beaten path venue away from crowded bars like Wonderland Ballroom, and great acoustics." Source
I found these by looking at the Flickr gallery of photographer Chris Chen (Fur Cafe).
He has a Flickr gallery called Rock & Roll Flea @ Paper Sun from July 2013 which includes this photo of three hipster looking folks standing outside the building we now refer to as the Pegasus Museum.
And this photo of two women sitting next to a garage that appears to be the same garage doors across the street from Pegasus.
This photo looking down stairs toward a doorway appears to be the same door that the woman was coming out of in the other photo. You can tell by the cracks on the concrete outside.
This leads me to believe that the rest of the pics at Rock & Roll Flea were from upstairs. The event itself looks like a punk rock flea market with artists, music, etc. Nothing suspicious with that.
But...
This gives an idea of what the upstairs of the Pegasus building looked like in 2013.
Video of a band performing at Paper Sun - Looks like it was on the first floor, rough brick walls. Same room as "kill room"?

THIS PHOTO has the same "tree trunk" table that we saw in the Joe Corbin Wills photos. It was taken from above, in what I assume to be from that mysterious 2nd story doorway.
This photo from 2010 of folks standing outside the door
When did JA buy the building and start renovating it? What ever happened to Paper Sun? Why did it close?

Wtf with all the recent sliding of the term "kill room" into discussions of 3518 11th st? The origin of "kill room" is the IG tag that has not been demonstrated to have a connection to any property involved. On the contrary there are clear reasons why the "kill room" is very unlikely at Pegasus/11th st, including size, expense, large compressors/coils (absent from the site) and electrical supply required.
Is this "kill room" mislabeling by shills to confuse or undermine investigation with deliberate falsehood? Or is it just dumb kids' attempt to make their reps with click-bait terms like "kill room" ??
Don't be stupid voaters

I agree it is likely that Pegusus is not the #killroom. There was actually a better lead somewhere I thought, where one of the users who used this term on IG, used it referring to image of a restaurant location that they owned.
More likely IMO, is that "killroom" is a code-word itself. You don't see any of the other terms used in pizzagate referring to the literal act of anything. "Is killroom a code-word?" Is the question I'm wondering.

It's been what I've been trying to say. It's like a swarm of people have taken up repeating this for no discernible reason.

def a swarm. much more active threads these past couple days
quantokitty ago
Yeah, crazy busy. and the numbers aren't up, so why? It's an indicator something is different ... and very wrong.
goat_cheese_pizza ago
they're trying to do what they did to r/politics. once a sub get's too popular, they just mess it up as much as possible so it becomes too much a bother to wade through the shit. great thing about the internet is we can just get up and go.
quantokitty ago
Ha! Yes, we can.

what? you need a label stuck on something to deduce what it is based on the evidence? In essence, you're depending on an admission from criminals for confirmation.

So voat needs to keep calling everything a killroom, because someday it's going to stick?
thisneedstoend ago
same brickwork in the construction photos and the wall behind rolling door in pegasus (https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1540864/7508409)) plus the pegasus building is definitely large enough to contain a "kill room" as well. edit: typo + added links: https://sli.mg/a/s9hoRx http://i.imgur.com/rspfrun.jpg

Agree. There is something fishy about the deliberately ignorant use of "killroom". It has become deceptive to the point of misleading.
Laserchalk ago
It has actually been connected with the Pegasus building. There is a video that shows the identical brickwork. Also James Alefantis himself confirmed it was the same room with a conversation he had with the person that made the connection.

I originally saw a video saying "Kill Room" was in the Pajama Factory, but then later it was found to be the same room where they were digging trenches (which happens to be pegasus). Is this true? I would like a source to know for sure.

Nothing has been proven yet. Pegasus is a very interesting spot and it has undergone huge renovations but so did CPP and, iirc, the walk-in freezer was the room that was # killroom. Then Jsmith had another one that he called his Killroom and that one people initially thought was at the Pyjama Factory, but again, nothing was proven. A tiny space (alley) between CPP and neighboring building McCullough was discovered and so another theory came out of that (killroom found at McCullough) but again, nothing concrete because of some discrepancies in ceiling beams, ping pong table being in the dig room et al... It's all very interesting and possible, but the killrooms could be at any of these locations. The smoking gun piece of evidence that will definitely place the killroom at an exact location is still missing. However, I have a feeling that we're getting extremely close and would encourage everybody to keep digging.
Edit: Question. Does this Pegasus building have a basement?
Fateswebb ago
From the property records I saw yes, but if so it doesn't make sense that they would dig, there would be a basement... so if there is one it's not under the room to the left of the furthest to the right because that would have been the room they are digging in.
