I am so thrilled you decided photograph this historic landmark that I have lived near my whole life. Driving by these buildings on a daily basis, I've always wondered what the conditions were inside. And what better way to view the interior than by your awesome angles and lighting!! They have actually started the demolition today. This is a great tribute to a plant that this city was built upon. Too bad you couldn't have visited the Uniroyal plant that was the next town over before that was demolished. Alot of history went away with that as well. Thanks again!!!

I originally thought a conveyor as well since it goes between two different levels. On closer inspection however it looks like there are no remnants or signs of any rollers having been mounted between the rails. This would be necessary to deal with teh incline. I am more inclined now to believe that htis is a what is known as a Cable Tray. It would be used to run heavy electircal cables between two areas. Usually used as part of a renovation when it is to costly and not necessary to run large conduit.

how old were these documents? I would think it's possible that they belonged to another of the tenents, but it would be fascinating if they were from the Studebaker days...

I added a touch of saturation to bring them out more, but the colors are how they were.

This reminds me of those old photos you see in the factories of the WWII era.

Agreed, Jude. I the softness and natural light always win.

I don't know how I feel about that metal rod. I'm looking at it different ways and it seems so violently placed in the photo, but the picture wouldn't be the same without it. I'm glad you didn't crop it out.
