  2. Hi Bill.

    I love old buildings that keep everything in honor a bit from the past.

    Greetings from Patricia.

  3. Would nice if somebody could bring it to life again in whatever capacity without much detriment to appearance.

  4. When I looked at your photo my eyes lit up. This is the kind of place I like to explore.

  5. A lot of hard work went into building that. A monument to the workers of the past.

  6. These kinds of structures seem to be ripe for conversion to high end condos.

  11. How nice to see the remains of an industrious place. I'm guessing it was a textile mill by the size of it. It's amazing, and you captured the whole thing in your shot.

  13. Well now, this one makes me feel real sad. I think of all the people that toiled in there. Come and gone.

  14. Fantastic looking building. It's a shame it's no longer in use. Are there stairs inside that are safe to climb, or is it completely off limits? (All of the old abandoned buildings near me in Connecticut US are "no trespassing" / "off limits" so I can't go exploring inside, the way I've seen some people in European countries able to do in similar buildings where they are.)

  24. So, you go for archive-photos as well! Me, too, - oh. Do I dare say that anymore? "I do that too."
    Didn´t you go inside? I once went into an asylum that was to be destroyed, that was some adventure! Dangerous, but really "wow".
    Hope your day is as sunny as ours :-)
