Balcony Graffiti

The stage from the balcony, which was in bad condition.

These machines are at least 100 years old.

I like to imagine this as an old-timey radio microphone.

I had to search the shelves a while to find this old logbook. The open page lists changes in stock numbers for Cutler Hammer Coils, and one row says that a new coil was installed on the black larry. The larry is the machine that loads coke ovens.

Note the really old carvings in the mineral-stained sandstone on the walls and ceiling. This little cave was walled-off on one end, making me wonder what the area was for. Lighting is a set of three candles and two LED flashlights and a cigarette.

An iron gate separates vaults below the barracks.

I really liked the bulky pillars on this outer-ring cottage.

In the mid-2000s, Peavey sealed the spaces between their Electric Steel Elevator bins. What they unwittingly created was a graffiti time capsule. “Impeach Bush”.

“Daisy”… probably for the mill, as it was unusual for women to work at Daisy.
