I was able to get into one of the towers at Buffalo, but it was disappointingly empty - no clock or bells that I could see. I just snapped a quick photo at the lower landing:

I really wish I made it up to the top of Worcester, but we had to run at that one.

Clock towers are great, I was in the one at Weston State Hospital (also a Kirkbride):

A chateau in Belgium:

and probably a few others I'm forgetting... always nice to see the machinery still present.

I watched the video motts linked at the beginning. It sounded to me like "child labor" was an excuse to give contracts out and spend money. Looked to me like the farm wasn't being abused as that idea of "child labor" implies.

The idea that it is child labor aside from the age and the fact that it is work that has to be done on a schedule to a standard, I assume the exception is also in the profit taken by the state off of selling excess produce even if it is used for the school and possibly because they are saving the expense of buying that food.
I think that loses something of what people knew when farming was the only way we all et.
I expect some kids were worked harder than others and otherwise put in danger.

that link didn't work earlier.

Thanks Motts! Great gallery! How many of the little monsters did you pick off??

Here's to hoping the forum can be revived!!!

I agree with Tricia. If you were bad and had to go here, there is punishment. It aint child labor if they aint getting paid......

Fantastic!

Very cool room! And it has equipment left in it!

Awesome Lonely Chair shot! Looks to have been kinda comfy at one time...

This is a light dusting, compared to the photo link.

I had to go look at the linked pic too.....Nope, this is nothing!

Another great place & gallery of it too, thank you so much, Motts. You're awesome.

Neat looking room, so much to look at here.

Another dual service exit sign, a light & the exit sign itself. Nice, for me & Mica too.

Motts, thanks for the new place & new gallery. Also what you are doing to get the forum back up & running, hopefully.
