Forgotten World Issue #2


I was contacted back in July about a new magazine coming out on Urban Exploring called Forgotten World and they wanted to feature me as the Artist of the month in the second issue. So I agreed and sent them some pictures. My Photo of Ravenloft Castle made the cover and there is a 10 page spread featuring my work from several locations in New York, Pennsylvania & Connecticut. If you like to pick up a copy of this issue you can by clicking this link below, http://www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/608546

Letchworth Village


Construction began in 1911 but completion of the original design did not occur until the early 1930s. The institution was planned as a farm colony where by patients were put to work raising animals and growing food. Superintendent Charles S. Little told the New York Times, In order to make this plan a success, it is necessary to begin to train the feeble minded when they are children. The feeble minded, if taken at an early age can be trained to do things better than if the education of which they are capable is postponed until the less pliable years. The site was named for William Pryor Letchworth, who served on the New York State Board of Charities from 1873 to 1896. Letchworth Village was one of the largest and most progressive facilities for the mentally retarded in the United States. Situated on 2000 acres of farmland with the Towns of Haverstraw and Stony Point. It was designed as a self-supporting community comprised of 130 field stone buildings.
The facility closed on March 31, 1996, but administrative offices remained open until 2002. The campus sprawls across the boundaries of 2 towns.  Some of the buildings located within one of the towns have been adaptively-reused, while much of the other section is neglected.

Old St. Nick


Old St. Nick Coal Breaker
The Old St. Nicholas Breaker, located in PA. It was constructed in 1930 and began operating in 1932. Half of the village of Suffolk was relocated in order to create room for Reading Anthracite's Old St. Nicholas Breaker, the largest coal breaker in the world. 20 miles of railroad track were laid, 3,800 tons of steel and more than 10,000 cubic yards of concrete were used. A mile and a half of conveyor lines, 25 miles of conduit, 26,241 square feet of rubber belting, 118 miles of wire and cable and 20 miles of pipe were installed. When the breaker was constructed it was divided into two sides. Each side could be operated independently, producing 12,500 tons of coal a day. Once the raw coal enters the production process within the breaker it took just 12 minutes to pass through the entire breaker. For 31 years, the Old St. Nicholas Breaker prepared all sizes of famous Reading Anthracite for the markets of the world.
