INDUSTRIAL RUIN

Previously Published 14 July 14

We happened to be driving around Canastota, NY and came upon this great ruin. Typically you can’t get next to relics like this nor can you see inside. Yet we were able to do both, as the photo below demonstrates. Another amazing thing is that the interior was completely clean. You can still see how natural light entered the building from roof clerestorys. The north wall of glass most certainly contributed to the quality of the interior workspace. And lastly the central interior space was clear span. It is such a great feeling when you stumble upon something like this in an out of the way corner. Buildings like this speak directly to the past industrial might of New York State.
