Coal was once king but its use as fuel for power p

Coal was once king but its use as fuel for power plant have been surpassed by cheaper natural gas and cleaner wind and solar alternatives.

This generating station was proposed in the 1940s during a period of economic expansion and population growth in southeast Pennsylvania. It fully opened with three 75 MW coal-fired units and later supplemented with two 17 MW combustion turbines that could be fueled by natural gas or oil.

A combination of environmental regulations, weak power markets, and the plummeting cost of natural gas made the generating station unprofitable and it was decommissioned in 2014. More can be found at abandonedonline.net. ¶

Pictured is the Fisher Covered Bridge, a covered double Town Lattice bridge that carried the St. Johnsbury & Lamoille County Railroad over the Lamoille River in Lamoille County, Vermont. Until its renovation in 1968 with steel stringers and a reused deck plate girder to increase its load-carrying capacity, rendering the covered superstructure purely decorative, it was the last of its type on a railroad.

The St. Johnsbury & Lamoille County Railroad provided service to rural parts of the state for over a century but a lack of stable revenue forced the closure of the line in 1994. Significant portions of the line are now being rehabilitated into a trail. ¶

It’s been a long ten years since we had a white Christmas down in northeast Kentucky. I took advantage of the serenity and beauty to hit the back roads yesterday to capture this rare event and came across this old one-room schoolhouse and residence in the forgotten community of Limeville.

St. Mark Church in Cincinnati, completed in 1916,

St. Mark Church in Cincinnati, completed in 1916, was patterned after St. Marie in Trastevere and St. Marie in Cosmedio, Italy. Designed by architect Henry J. Schlacks, it featured a mild brown brick and terracotta exterior, colored to match Roman Travertine stone, a Verona facade, a roof adorned with imported orange Roman tiles, and a 130-foot-tall campanile.

St. Mark closed in 2010 and the property has languished ever since. ¶

I recently noticed this cruddy industrial plant in Bayonne, New Jersey had closed. It was once the home of the Baker Castor Oil Company, later owned by CasChem and Vertellus, and manufactured castor oil and other food oil products. There are proposals to repurpose some of the site into residential and commercial uses. ¶

This distinctive red Gothic-style barn has graced the banks of Dudley Creek and the Catskill Turnpike in Manningville, New York for over a century. I've noticed that the creek has been meandering ever so close to the barn's foundation for some time and it is now threatening the stability of the now-abandoned structure. ¶

Textile mills once dominated the New England lands

Textile mills once dominated the New England landscape in the late 19th and early 20th century. A combination of cheaper labor and increased mechanization caused the industry to shift its factories to the South. Subsequently, the companies that remained in New England did not bother to invest in technological improvements to their production lines.

Built between 1860-64, the George Gilbert Manufacturing Company constructed four now-abandoned textile mills and company town along the Ware River deep in the rolling hills of northern Massachusetts. The factory was in decline by the turn of the century and the mills were operating at far less than capacity.

The damming of the Ware in 1931 lessened both the quantity and quality of the water to the point that it was no longer suitable for washing and treating the woolen cloth it manufactured nor was there enough water power to support the mills. It finally closed for good after a hurricane roared through the region in 1938 that caused damage to the remaining production facilities. ¶

A while back, I was invited to photograph an abandoned farmhouse in Massachusetts. Aptly nicknamed “Granny’s House,” it is comprised of a circa 1840 Colonial-style residence filled with furnishings and antiques, a separate residence, and a garage. The single-family residences are set to be demolished in the near future as the cost of rehabilitating them for future use far exceeds the cost of new construction. ¶
