Bristol Manufacturing — Waterbury, Connecticut
In 1997, during one of my first visits, the main building was still more or less intact. But a series of severe winter storms and vibration from the nearby railroad line conspired to bring down the oldest section of the Bristol Company.. The newer sections – out of frame to the right – has fared much better during the same period as we shall see…

So it had remained derelict, ruined but not disappeared for upwards of 17 years? Wow
Yes Sue. Numerous “plans” to renovate fell apart due to all the contamination on the property…asbestos, heavy metals, PCB and other nasty long-lived substances in the building and ground…
Oh my….
It is always so amazing to see how a building just disolves when humans leave them alone.
Yes and thanks.
I love the lone punch of yellow.
Thanks Laura – yes, it works into the red and blue theme quite nicely…
You’re welcome. 🙂 Love those primary colors!
Now that graffiti is really an eye catcher! Great choice of color!
