I meant it WASN'T a pretty site, sorry

I bet this was a noisy and dangerous place to work back in the day. Just imagine the wind and suction coming from one of these flywheels!

The old steel plant I mentioned before had several of these massive flywheels and back when the plant was in use, a guy was eating his lunch near one of these things (they didn't have a safety gate up around these flywheels until after his death). Not sure why in the heck he chose to eat right there, well, it was a pretty site, what was left of him, according to the reports.

I love old factories like this. Reminds me of an old furnace plant near me that I like walking around sometimes.

This photo is so crisp and sharp!

Those are some pretty treacherous holes over to the right-would hate to not see those at night!

I don't think I would have went any further. Beautiful greenery though.

I love old smokestacks! Something majestic about them.

So Motts, what happened to the person that tried to climb one of these? Not a very smart move

Oh and great gallery!

Were you not able to get into any of these buildings you've shown us, Motts?

Lol, finally a chair that made it out! Wonder what happened to its buddies?

Man, tourism for this place would have netted whoever owns these buildings a small fortune.

Motts, and this may be a silly question, but I've always wondered who owns this place?

Always amazes me how you make these night shots look like broad daylight! I would have though it was day out

and graffiti. Such a waste of good, solid buildings

Motts, is this the really tall building that was used as wallpaper in the first set of photos you took of this place? Light on in this place? Is it still being used for medical purposes?

Wow, just huge place!

This place could have made a ton of money opening these buildings for tourism. I for one would have gladly paid to see the inside of these.

Seems the doctor's houses were the first to go when these places were abandoned. So eerie! Bet it was pretty quiet out there.

They probably could have easily repurposed these houses instead of letting them sit and rot
