The Cannery

The Cannery
This is another shot from the agricultural area of Northern State Hospital, the part of the grounds that is now a public park. As I noted in an earlier post, the cannery provided employment for the residents and income for the hospital and used the fruits and vegetables which were grown on the farm. These are the most dilapidated buildings on the grounds as is evident here. What exactly the equipment was used for I do not know, but it is rather ironic that the fallen fruit from an old apple tree outside now litters the floor of the cannery and goes unused.

I don't ordinarily post in black and white or monochrome, and because the sunny day accented some of the subtle coloring, I didn't, but most of these pictures are actually better in monochrome which seems to emphasis the sad condition of these buildings and seems to make them more stark and grim. I am, for that reason, tempted to repost the whole set in monochrome, but we shall see. I have a lot of other pictures from last summer that I would like to post also before spring and summer and another hiking season arrive.
