This set is a combination of a few old industrial buildings we explored. Photos and text by the Stooges, Moss Man and Captain Jack.

The abundance of natural falls along this New England State's rivers fueled a once booming industrial base.

In this complex many of the buildings have been either razed or converted to other uses. The ones that remain are have been stabilized by the developer/owners for future conversions. As a result they are pretty well sealed and can be tough to get into. Moss and I had been previously escorted off this site and on this trip entered by way of the river frontage which was a tangle of rocks, deep holes, debris and poison ivy.
