My great grandparents owned the Stewart Silk Company. I have always hear about it and this summer my brother went there. We are shocked that the building is still standing. I am heading there in two weeks. Thank you for caring enough to video it. It was a thrill to go thru it with you. When you went up the stairs I got chills thinking... My great grandfather, grandfather, and my dad (who is 94) went up those stair. - Thank you again! Jackie Stewart Kollinger
Wow! I always enjoy when relatives of the owners find my videos! I have similar thoughts while exploring, imagining the types of people that used to step there. Must really be a trip for you! Can you provide any history about the company or the building? I wasn't able to find much about it online. Thanks.
I love your videos! There is something extremely compelling about old and abandoned structures, especially the need to satisfy our basic curiosities about what life was like day to day in the prime of that buildings history. Keep it up!
Interesting to hear what goes through your minds during an expedition. You guys have done numerous amounts of places, yet each time you guys still play it as if it is your first time doing it, so safety is number one. Very professional.
You should have your own show with the same intro that you have now. I LOVE your channel and can't wait for the next video. I really like old abandoned places. They are part of our past. Thank you.
Awesome vid! I really like it that there was some commentary in there and you didn't distort your voice. Keep up the good work and stay safe. Take care-Mike.
Thanks for posting this. I live a few blocks away and went to Ada B Cheston. Always wanted to know what the inside of this place looked like. Hopefully the city will do something with this.
The 'machines' @ 1:47 are (W)CDMA/GSM base stations for cellular telephony. They probably rented out the chimney to make a couple of bucks off this old factory.
If you come to London (UK) you should go to Aldwych station, its a disused underground station, it looks creepy but pretty fascinating! Its been in quite a few movies like Creep and 28 weeks later, id love to go down and see it but I don't have the guts too! btw LOVE your videos
Great work once again. It's Always nice to explore without having to get a tetanus shot. You have a great eye for composition. What camera are you shooting with? Thanks!
Was this filmed on the Canon 5D MKII? Reason why I'm asking is because the image quality is great but that lens noise I hear is something kind of exclusive to the 5D.
Any chance u could get more video of the building at the other end (otherside of the stack)? it will probably torn down soon easton is talking about what 2 do with the property. Just really wanna know if it was steam powered and if the engine is still on sight?
The People who rent that area are selling the remaining good parts off those old auto's. They all ended up there due to floor rot & other "too expensive" repair estimates. (in other words it "is a junkyard" just a one for fancy European autos).
