Some images from a project I've been working on for about a year documenting abandoned resorts in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Sorry for any dust etc, some of these are still just rough scans.

Thanks guys! And thanks, Rot, for starting this thread. It's been a really fun project to work on. I'm not really into the whole EXXXTREEM URBEXXXXX scene but I've gotten really into exploring parts of rural Pennsylvania over the last few years. This particular area really stuck for me, it's a shame what's happened to it over the past couple decades. DJExile posted:Abandoned resort crew That place looks awesome... I'd love to check it out but I don't think I'll be getting there anytime soon haha. Love that Princess Di photo, so cool! I generally don't take any poo poo from places I explore but I do have a bunch of old postcards, brochures etc that I've found. I love seeing what they looked like in their heyday, some of them were pretty loving nice! One even had its own airplane landing strip. voodoorootbeer posted:srsly if you have a flickr or tumblr or something post it so we can follow I probably should but I really don't... I'll probably just keep posting stuff here though

Spedman posted:Please do, that set was amazing. Yup, I'm beginning to work on it now. It's going to be photos interspersed with the aforementioned brochures, found photos and some interesting documents/letters. Hoping to have it done by the spring, I'll post a link here when it's finished for sure.

Norrskensren posted:Tactical Sandals, please make a tumblr and don't forget to tell us when you publish this in book form. I move around too much to ever feel that coffee table books are worth the investment but I'd buy yours. These are amazing! I love seeing places like this that haven't suffered from tons of vandalism. I've never been to Europe but I'd love to take a trip soon and just do tons of exploring. I've seen lots of photos of some incredible abandoned structures over there, like crazy French mansions and poo poo. If you haven't seen it already, check out fuckyeahabandonedplaces.tumblr.com. They get some pretty rad stuff submitted sometimes. Here are some photos from a former "farm school" (ie reform school) for girls located outside of Philadelphia. Built in the early 1900's, it almost resembles a small college campus except for, well, all the barred windows (inside as well as outside) and vaguely prisonlike living quarters. It closed in 2001 due to financial issues, while researching articles on it there were often comments from former residents that actually recalled their time there rather fondly. We found a lot of records there of girls sent to the school that resided right in the neighborhood we live in now in South Philly.
