Wiggle

As photographed from a cement piling for Slip #3 poured in 1935, disconnected from land by erosion. How do I know the date? A pair of steamship engineers carved their initials and ranks into the wet cement!

Looking up from the industrial courtyard.

A simple porcelain fountain in the original brewhouse. The water fountain, no doubt, is not original.

A typical shower in the old section of the hospital. It looks a little horrifying in the harsh light of a camera flash on the thousands of little white tiles. One soap holder hadn’t been stolen yet.

Fermenters and mixing tanks fill this brewing room. The lighting is all natural, and is partially owed to a crumbling wall letting the sunset blast the interior in almost perfect profile.

The coal water power plant stack accompanied the smell of an arson.

The roof of the elevator was partly lit naturally with six big skylights. The less electricity pumped into a grain elevator, the less chance of a grain dust explosion.

Looking from the mill at the old transfer elevator’s steel tanks.

This mean-looking thing had a purpose, probably, but that function has been lost to decades of expansion.
