The artwork in that Penny and Porter logo was really stunning. So rare to see a structure with no graffiti as well! The reverence and respect you show towards the artifacts you uncover is something I find very touching and restores a sense of dignity to these old,wonderful places. I had a very powerful reaction to this video towards the end. Whether it was the 9/11 newspaper, the music, or the book of dairy cow names(Snowflake?), I don't really know. Maybe it was the 4:30 a.m viewing time or the slight hangover,but out of nowhere my eyes started welling up with emotion...the "Farm of Tears" came true for me.

Wow, Steve, what a great place with so many fascinating contents. I've never seen any suitcases like those, and as for the old bottles ... well, suffice to say I would not make a good urbexer, being of an acquisitive nature! They knew how to build things in those days, looking at the beautiful brick walls and that amazing ladder. Somebody spent a lot of time on that. So this building has been used for numerous activities, but sadly, it seems doubtful if it has a future. Unless you have other information? Thanks for a great explore.

At :10 I expected you to flip back the sheets and TA DA the bodies. I have never see the rungs of a ladder inset like that. Cool. Can't believe the paper is in such good state. Thanks for the history to go with what I'm looking at. It helps a lot. Thanks for taking us along on the walk thru. Nice video.
As an aside, the cassette deck shown in the video is a Nakamichi 1000 introduced in 1973. It was the first 3-head cassette recorder. Here in the States it was an expensive unit in 1973 and is still commanding prices in the $1,200-$2,000 range in the vintage stereo markets. What can I say, as a lifelong audiophile, it pains me to see such a treasure in those circumstances, even if it is obsolete technology.
