my card was full after this gallery, but I still checked it out. The porch has been removed from the cottage and the back of the house has been completely rebuilt. ALL of the windows are now boarded up and all of the brush has been pushed back away from the cottage. I think that New York may take up a restoration next summer, if it weathers the winter. The other buildings along the road have no fared so well. Most of them are now all but fallen in. They are completely unsafe to go inside. I figure this winter will do them in completely.

I dont understand the expenditure. The mac house is from a totally different timeframe than most of the other buildings and is a wreck. THere is history pre Teddy that noon will ever see unless you dig.

what my pics don't show is that not only has the smelter undergone restoration, but the platform on the otherside of the road is also being restored. Brush has been removed and the stonework is being remediated. The road out there is brand new pavement and uber smooth, although still very narrow in spots.

There used to be shit at the lower works: Including a barge that shit the bed after the dam at Adirondack broke. They carried the ore downriver by barge. Until 50 years ago apparently it was still there. The lower works had shit too, but its gone. In addition, in the early 20th the same company reexperimented with ore from the region and built a separating plant on Sanford lake.. obviously that is long since non extant.
