I feel blessed to have found this site, especially Market Street. I was taken there many times back in the late 50s, early 60s. A man named Lawrence was a plant worker, and met Betty Ann, a switchboard opperator in the office. They were married in 53 and I was born in 55. Talk about shaking up the memory banks. My siblings,and I called the place 'The Noisies' It was HOT,and LOUD. Dad would give us the 'GRAND TOUR'. Thanks for the memories Mr. Motts

Sandy I feel the same way, ever read David mortin poem theres a memorey stays upon old ships.
I worked on Tug Boat Beaver for Captian Connie V. Esmark an old school german who owned the Tug Beaver (Cove Towing Company)
Connie I founf out later tru another fellow who visited this site said Esmark worked with his Dad out of Texas ( hite Sands dreging company.
Till this day still searching for info on Connie and the Beaver.
Connie died I think in acording to death records I came by.
If these old ships could only talk, the storys would fill the oceans.

What happened?! Is it a real crime scene?

Hey bro good shot

Thanks so much for another wonderful gallery Mr. Motts. I'm looking forward to the next one. As John Galt says, it is lucky that this location has not been vandalized or tagged with grafitti too much.

The upper box is mounted quite high on the wall.

What are the three pipes for in the upper left?

Wow, fantastic!!

flushed, I see what you mean. The building has no windows on any level on the very left side.

Fabulous photo, taken with a true artist's eye!

Wonderful photo with the open window framing the tower.

Autoguy and Sandy are right - there should be a handrail, and I notice that the door should open the other way, to be flat against the wall.

This is almost a "camo" effect.

I love this photo that shows the view through one doorway to the next, and the green adds a lot.
