the Towers - Chattanooga TN

I'd seen the place before but it wasn't until my friend talked about some times he'd had there that I decided to give it a try. So, I grabbed a couple of people and we headed over, no real prior information.

Fortunately, I'm fairly small so getting through the fence wasn't a problem.
Unfortunately, I'm fairly small so I needed some assistance actually getting into the building.

1.


We got inside; the place was essentially empty. It was beautiful.

2. At this point, it felt like we were in a video game


3. And then we went up.


4.


5. It seems we found a hole in the ground...


6. Up to the roof. My favorite part. My favorite shot.


7.


8.


Before we left, we made it down to the basement. It was pitch black. Phone flash lights got us around well enough but it wasn't the best environment for pictures. I could see an office or two but I definitely want to return with better lighting for another look around.

In the end, it was a great experience, and I'm glad I was able to drag some people along to share it with. I don't know if I could have gotten in without them.

That was definitely a second favorite. We think that room might have been a loading dock at some point based on the really high doorways that were partially bricked up. I think it was really just the added experience of being on the roof (so incredible) that made those stairs my favorite.

It's a very old power station. Unfortunately back few years ago some kid was dumb enough to fall through a floor and additionally sue the land owner and win the case. Shame there isn't anyone daring to give it a new life.
