A well known landmark for ruin, the Republic Rubber Company was located in Youngstown, Ohio and manufactured tires and hoses for the automotive and aerospace industries. At its peak, Republic employed 2,300 with a payroll of $4 million. The company merged with several companies over the years and nearly came to an end in 1978. Several employees bought out the remains of the business and formed Republic Hose Manufacturing, which lasted until 1989.

Really cool stuff! I grew up in Akron, so some of the first factories that I ever got to explore were rubber and tire factories. I've never been to this one, but it still brings back memories.

Great set! I wish I had more time when I was in Ohio. I went by countless abandoned and semi-abandoned factories just wishing I had free time!

Dynamite set, bro. I love the color processing and the sharp clarity of the photos.

"Will you compromise and then realize the price is too much to pay?" "Winners and losers... which one will you be today?"

Nice set and cool spot. I would enjoy shooting it in fog.
