    Abandoned BG Graphics Sign Company, Meriden CT

    October 19, 2024 / No Comments

    For years and years I’ve driven by this abandoned BG Graphics building on the Berlin Turnpike in Meriden CT. I finally took the time to photograph it. When I see a building that has become completely engulfed by the surrounding environment I’m always intrigued. In front of the building was, at one time, a paved parking lot. However, nature has…

    Abandoned Old Church in Southbury CT

    November 1, 2023 / 2 Comments

    While Cheryl and I were on the hunt for barns in Southbury we stumbled upon this old gem. Which, of course, isn’t a barn.  I thought, at first, that it was some type of meeting house back in the day.  I wasn’t able to find anything on the internet about it so I reached out to the Southbury Historical Society.  Their…

    Abandoned but a canvas to many………..Plymouth CT

    October 16, 2022 / 2 Comments

    Abandoned building in Plymouth CT. It’s been like this for years and years. It had to have been at least 15 years ago that I photographed this building but from the other side. I love the colorful graffiti. If you look carefully into the right side of the image you’ll see the silhouette of a woman standing in one of…
