Peggy C's photos with the keyword: Burlington Coffin Co.

Burlington Coffin Co. is coming down - Some wood and bricks have been salvaged - Metal will be sold for scrap - Check the posts tops on the chain link fence - Are triangular - Not seen that before - Interesting how on the left, a tree and the fence became one - One fascinating salvage will come out last - A safe with 6ft doors - My neighbor showed me a cell phone pic he took - It is a monster - Couldn't get the ghost sign to show up - Went different times of day -- different camera settings -- different angles - So, the center photo in black, much smaller than the original - If I can find out when the safe is to be removed, I'll go back - But, this isn't a happy scene for me - © All Rights Reserved ** 1 note ** Update: 6 April 2016, the safe was removed and I missed the event. A couple of workers I spoke with said it was huge, taking several men plus machinery to move. Since I know where it went, there is always the possibility of a photo!

. . . abandoned -- UPDATE: Our son drove past this the other day; part of the structure is gone; there are piles of old bricks - perhaps to be re-purposed? But .... he said there are very large steel beams behind this area of the building .... hope ? -- Will try to get newer photos and post them 03/13/2016 ..... no longer needed - this building, about 100,000 sq ft - has remained basically unused - for 43 yrs - some storage in there - but present owners say - ' it would cost too much to fix ' - excuse me - why didn't you bother to keep it in repair - must not have worked with ' your bottom line ' - I.E. profits - who cares if it is old - has more history than you care about - no, am not happy with you at all - reading through the History of Burlington [ by souls who know what they are writing about ] - so many Historical Structures are gone - really thought this town had learned that keeping history alive is important - but, supposed it hasn't - history still isn't worth saving - 1 Note - the Original Building - [ screenshot ] homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mwellis/book/chapter16.html The original Burlington Coffin Co. -- made of wood, it was re-built with bricks after it burned in the early 1900s .. © All Rights Reserved The Alphabet Site ..
