There is a pretty big furnace in the small building, totally rusted, tall smokestack with Co. name, some graf. Large, wide manuf. area is about completely empty showing lots of space and the encroaching flora. Incongruous tricicyle out back. Also, just being in this area you'll see lotsa photo ops.

Head protection wouldn't hurt, or just stay alert for falling ceiling trash.

Chester, MA, during the late 30's to the 60's, was a small prospering rural community with several flourishing industries: a granite quarry, a stone shed for working the granite, an emery mill now the General Abrasive Treibacker Inc. and the Cortland Gringing Wheels Company, With the exception of the emery mill, which employs about a dozen workers,m these industries no long exist.

Nothing is planned and there's really not anything to rehab. The old brick building and chimney would be valuable for the bridk recycling only.
