Abandoned Clark Bros. Bolt Company, Plantsville CT
Clark Brothers Bolt Company is typical of so many post WWII factories that forged the industrial revolution in this country and laid the foundation for what it is today. It was established in 1854 by brothers William, Henry and Charles. A fire destroyed the factory in 1893 (not sure where the original location was) but it was rebuilt in the Plantsville section of Southington, CT. They manufactured bolts, washers, screws and rivets. In 1987 the company closed it’s doors after 133 years of business. The factory sits abaonded to this very day. Photographed with a Sony Nex-7, 24mp, mirrorless camera and Sony 10-18 mm, F4.0 zoom lens.
