Headroom

Zachary Taylor’s very own Scottish castle, spring-side in the Kentucky backcountry. Boarded and waiting, but in surprisingly good condition, considering the decades. I especially love the tower on the right side of the frame.

Bits and things in a pile in the corner of the smelter, the unsold chunks of industrial history that didn’t sell at an on-site auction before my visit.

Beautiful belt wheels above the grain cribs. Getting to the spot where this was taken is now impossible, and I don’t know whether these remain or not anymore.

The stone chapel sits beside the main house and received a particularly heavy dose of gothic architectural touches.

In the corner of the former school grounds…

The King Elevator is connected by a manlift and this spiral staircase. The manlift was down–can you believe it? Note the cool turns in the vertical railings. Arista 100 on 120.

Instructional film strips on the floor of a second floor closer.

Furnace #6; its catwalk and tapway. Note the lever-operated gutter-blockers.

Part of the decommissioned plant was used by the Air Force for virtual bombing runs. This is the guard shack for the radar station.
