Fort Revere, Hull Ma

I went to Fort Revere today with a friend to explore. It's a neat abandoned gun placement with empty rooms and passageways that you can wander around in.

Boston Light is the oldest lighthouse in America, in operation since the early 1700's. Behind it is Graves Light.

Lincoln Park, Dartmouth, Ma

I went with a friend to an abandoned amusement park in North Dartmouth, Ma on Sunday. It was a small park by modern standards, with a wooden coaster as the centerpiece.

The rollercoaster is still mostly standing, though the first hill collapsed in 2005 under a heavy load of snow. It's been scheduled for demolition for a while, but is still up for now.

This is the motor that pulled the train up the hill. It's mostly a shell now.

Abandoned Armstrong Factory

I got my wireless flash trigger on Saturday, so I went back to the abandoned factory to try out some off camera flash shots.

Abandoned Armstrong Factory

I visited an abandoned factory last week. This was my first time in the building and was a quick exploration. The building is big and sprawling, and is in pretty good shape for as long as it has been empty.

Office Chair cast aside

This office chair has been sitting in a side pool of the Monatiquot River where large granite boulders pinch the river into small waterfalls.

It may be cleaned up in the near future if the planned fish ladder is built in this spot. Several small trees and old fencing has been tagged with surveyor's tape.

Blue Hills Nike Missile site

I went to an abandoned Nike Missile site today. It was a quick and dirty expedition to see what out there. It appears to be semi-active since a truck drove through as I was finishing up.

This is the main launch pad that the missiles were prepped and launched from. The elevators have been covered with fill and are inaccessible.

These appear to be the motor pool or maintenance building.

This is a generator building next to the motor pool building. It looks like there were 3 generators here.

Abandoned Armstrong Factory


Abandoned Armstrong Factory, originally uploaded by alohadave.

This truck chassis and other assorted debris are scattered behind the old Armstrong flooring plant in Braintree.

The property seems to be under renovations to convert the building to mixed retail and residential by FX Messina. It's an awkward lot as it's hemmed in by an active commuter rail line, the Monatiquot River, and the mill pond that is formed by the dam under the building.
