I worked at Kinsey Distillery right out of High school in 1966. It was a great place to work and would still be in Bussiness if the Chairman a Great Man had not died suddenly and a couple of Lawyers did a hostile takeover of Publicker the parent Company! When I worked there 600 people were empoyed there. Over 500 in 2 shifts in the Big Bottle House which is 2 foot ball fields long And had 11 bottling lines! I still go back from time to time to remember and write on the web about my Memories.
I still keep in touch with some of the people still livng that worked there. Publicker was an Awesome Company to work for and I have many stories about the place.
At one time we had the Worlds largest amount of aging Whiskey in those warehouses about 14 Million barrels!

The roofs of these buildings are very dangerous, mostly everything else is stable, I would not advise anyone to try and take another picture like this one.
these are great shots, i was just through there with a few of my friends, if u follow the main road back there's a really cool house that was built in 1751, the distillery used it for awhile, there's an old barn there too. if you get a chance to go back there check it out!!
simple. even so i am impressed. it looks cryptic. i always love the abandoned scenes over the photos that try to draw you in with the guise of shadows to give it a haunted apperance. i do adore the simple greyness of abandoned life that this photograph radiates with.
brownie is not the owner he is the ground keeper ,three men from new york own it , they come out to check on it once in a while it is for sale,and definately strange stuff going on there. Also if you are cauht in the bond room you could face imprisonment even though it has been closed for many years.
My cousin lives right down the road and we were recently there...there is 1 warehouse that still has a bunch of caps from the bottles, and all the old packaging equipment and scales...also there was recently construction and one of the buildings were torn down...but it wasnt a big warehouse...it was a small building...i love it there
