To be honest, I've gotten pretty burned out on the big 5000+ word style historical writeups. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy them, but I've ended up putting a ton of pressure on myself to make ALL my threads full scale deep dives. To try and relax a bit, I'm just going to post a series of threads from my East Coast trip last spring with only a short paragraph or two of context. Not everything needs or deserves a giant essay after all.

This one is the pumphouse for a now-demolished steel mill, and it's apparently a pretty well known local spot. By the looks of it someone is using it as a private marina too. There was a walking height tunnel across the road that led to a dead end where the steel mill used to be too, so I'm assuming that's how water was transported from the pumphouse to the mill.

Nice photos! Sad the steel mills gone
