This was a frustrating shot for me. Setting this up to get the parallel and perpendicular lines, then quickly setting the camera up at the right angle with the right light before gravity took over at the end of a busy day, nearly got the better of me.

...I love rust... well I love many things, but I like the patina things get when they are weathered and worn... Decay can be pretty, oxidation...
...anyhow, this was a snap from the Streets of the fifth District in Vienna when I lived there, I still remember the feeling when I saw these pretties lying about :)
Peace and Noise!

Greystone Lunatic Asylum
One of the more infamous asylums in New Jersey lore is Greystone Psychiatric Park, located in Morris Plains. First conceived in1871 and known as The New Jersey State Lunatic Asylum at Morristown, the institution first opened its doors (to a mere 292 patients) on August 17, 1876.
In its day, Greystone was a landmark in progressivism. Designed by Thomas Kirkbride, the hospital advocated uncrowded conditions, fresh air, and the notion that mental patients were curable people.
One of the more famous aspects of Greystone is its notorious network of underground tunnels and rails. This system led to Greystone being built on one huge foundation --it was actually the largest continuous foundation in the United States until the Pentagon was constructed. Being that the hospital sits on over 670 acres of land, this rail system served to unite the entire complex as one contained unit.
Over time, the humane reputation of Greystone was tarnished, as overcrowding became the norm (the hospital, which was originally meant to house hundreds, once contained 7,674 patients in1953). Overcrowding was a problem almost immediately in the hospital’s history. In 1881 the attic was converted into patient living space, and in 1887, the hospital’s exercise rooms were converted into more dormitories.
One of the hospitals more famous patients was folk singer/songwriter Woody Guthrie, who spend a stint at Greystone from 1956 to 1961. Woody was suffering from Huntington’s disease, a hereditary, degenerative nervous disorder, which would eventual, prove terminal. During his stay there, Woody referred to Greystone as “Gravestone.” This sardonically humorous nickname might prove more prophetic than Woody ever could have imagined, as Greystone might well be the last monument to a dying breed of New Jersey’s gargantuan mental institutions.

Fort Hancock - Sandy Hook
Middletown Township, New Jersey
Sandy Hook is a barrier spit, approximately 6 miles in length and varying between 0.1 to 1 miles wide in Middletown Township in Monmouth County, along the Atlantic Ocean coast of eastern New Jersey in the United States. The barrier spit encloses the southern entrance of Lower New York Bay south of New York City. The Dutch called the area "Sant Hoek", with the English "Hook" deriving from the Dutch "Hoek" (corner, angle), meaning "spit of land".
Fort Hancock is a former United States Army fort at Sandy Hook, located in Middletown Township in Monmouth County, along the Atlantic coast of eastern New Jersey in the United States. This coastal artillery base played an important part in the defense of New York Harbor and played a role in the history of New Jersey. Between 1874 and 1919, Fort Hancock was operated in conjunction with the Army's Sandy Hook Proving Ground.
In 1893, Fort Hancock installed Battery Potter, the nation's first disappearing gun battery. It also was important for the defense of the vital New York Harbor throughout World War II, preventing the entrance of German submarines into the harbor. In the late 1950s Project Nike antiaircraft missiles were based there. Fort Hancock was decommissioned in 1974.
The fort and its small museum are managed as part of the Sandy Hook Unit of Gateway National Recreation Area, and is part of National Parks of New York Harbor unit of the National Park System.
Double Trouble Village State Park
Pinewald Keswick Road
Lacey Township, NJ 08731
~ Inspired by Carolyn @ __crs
Located on the eastern edge of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, Double Trouble Village provides a window into Pine Barrens industry with a complete company town, a sawmill, and a cranberry sorting and packinghouse. Its natural resources are characterized by thousands of acres of undisturbed woodlands and the pristine waters of Cedar Creek. This area has served as a focal point of human activity since the time of the native Lenape people. Today it preserves some of the early industries that have shaped the landscape of the Pine Barrens while preserving its unique natural beauty.
History: The Double Trouble Historic District occupies over 200 acres and includes the village and surrounding bogs. The natural environment of cedar forest and rapidly flowing stream provided both raw materials and waterpower for an extensive lumber industry from the 1700s to the 1900s. As timber was cut, the cleared swampland created bog habitat ideal for growing cranberries. Cranberry culture began at Double Trouble Village in the 1860s. By the 20th century, the Double Trouble Company was one of the largest cranberry operations in the state. Cranberry cultivation continues today in several bogs maintained by leaseholders.
Double Trouble Village was typical of company towns built in the Pine Barrens. These isolated communities were entirely self-sufficient and totally dependent on the success of the particular industry. The restored sawmill and cranberry sorting and packinghouse contain nearly intact operational equipment. Those two buildings were the focus of life and work in the village, which also includes a late 19th century one room schoolhouse, general store, bunk house, cook house, shower house, maintenance shop, pickers’ cottages and the foreman’s house. The sawmill and packinghouse are open during guided village tours, while the remaining buildings have been adaptively reused or are not restored and are closed.
The village was purchase by the State of New Jersey in 1964 to protect the Cedar Creek Watershed. The Double Trouble Historic District was placed on the State Register of Historic Places in 1977 and on the National Register in 1978.

Toms River Silo Ruins
262 1st Avenue
Toms River, New Jersey 08757
The Toms River Silos aren't exactly the most exciting thing to see in New Jersey, but it is an unusual site. Thirteen silos sit in the area, seemingly abandoned. Openings in the side reveal small chambers in almost every Silo usually scattered with garbage and graffiti. One of them however, was filled with old vacuum cleaners when we visited, as you can see in the pictures below.
I'm not sure how these structures got here, I'm sure Toms River had some sort of farm lands a long time ago. I could not find any more information online about these, except for on stuofdoom.com (The Wanderer), which is where I first learned of these things. ~ From Hidden New Jersey Blog
To get to the Silo Ruins, navigate to 1st Avenue, Tom’s River, New Jersey, 08757. When you get to the Power Lines, park in the sandy area and on foot, follow the sand road/trail to the left for about 100 meters.
Abandoned Lighthouse
Conover Beacon
Middletown, NJ
The Conover Beacon is a lighthouse in Leonardo section of Middletown Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey that functioned as the front light of the now-discontinued Chapel Hill Range.
The current tower, which resembles a submarine periscope, replaced the hexagonal wooden tower in 1941. Before being relocated to Leonardo, the metal tower served as the front light of the Waackaack (way-cake) Range. The tower’s former location was just over four miles west along the shore at Point Comfort in Keansburg, where it was also known as the Point Comfort or Bayside Beacon.

Clawfoot Cast Iron Bathtub
The first Clawfoot Tub can be dated to ancient Crete 3,000 years ago. It was reportedly 5 feet long and made of pottery.
The first American Clawfoot Tub was reportedly crafted by the J.L. Mott Ironworks Company in 1873. Its enamel interior was easy to clean, and the American people, making it a popular household item, embraced it.
Clawfoot Cast Iron Bathtubs were covered in liquid enamel, creating the sought-after smooth surface. These tubs were manufactured in the United States until the 1930s, which saw a shift in popularity toward the built-in bathtub, according to ClawfootTubs.com.
Old Man Dinkelspiel's House - (Demolished)
Edgar Dinkelspiel died on April 6, 1997 at 82 years old.
851 Ocean Ave Long Branch, NJ 07740
Part of His Story: The Long Branch Historical Museum Association is a nonprofit 501 (C)3 organization founded in 1953 to preserve St. James Chapel in Long Branch, New Jersey, which is also known as the Church of the Presidents because of the seven presidents who worshipped there.
Local residents Edgar and Florence Dinkelspiel, Eugene C.F. McVeigh, J.D. and Bernard Sandler, Haslam Slocum, Rev. Christopher H. Snyder, and then mayor Alex Vineburg formed the organization to operate the church as a museum after saving it from certain demolition.
Presidents Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, Garfield, Chester A. Arthur, Benjamin Harrison, and Woodrow Wilson all attended services at the church. Only one of them -- Grant -- was out of office when he worshipped there.
Listed on both the State of New Jersey and National Register of Historic Places, the Church of the Presidents was designed by the New York firm of Potter and Robertson and built in 1879. It was established as a branch of St. James Episcopal Church, which was located in the western reaches of Long Branch, and officially registered as St. James Chapel. However, its growing congregation of chief executives led it to become widely known as the Church of the Presidents.
At the time the church was built, Long Branch was the premiere vacation resort in the country, catering to the wealthy, powerful, and famous of the day. Summer residents George Pullman, George W. Childs, and Anthony Drexel financed construction of the church to provide a house of worship closer to their vacation homes. In 1886, the congregation was estimated to have a collective worth of $120 to $250 million.
By 1940, membership in the church had fallen to about 40, and by the 1950s, attendance had dropped so low that the Episcopal Diocese deconsecrated the church and slated it for demolition. But a few local residents thought better of it.
The late Edgar Dinkelspiel and attorney Bernard Sandler discovered a clause in the original deed to save the church. The clause stipulated that if the building were no longer used as a church, then ownership reverted back to the original benefactors -- Pullman, Childs, and Drexel. Dinkelspiel and Sandler found their heirs and obtained ownership of the church in 1953 as the non-profit Long Branch Historical Museum Association.
The Long Branch Historical Museum
The Church of the Presidents was rededicated as the Long Branch Historical Museum in September 1955. Dinkelspiel and his wife, Florence, maintained and operated the museum. Artifacts on display included the following:
⢠President Grant's gun cabinet and game table.
⢠The flag placed over Garfield's casket during services conducted by the Long Branch Masonic Lodge.
⢠Memorial tablets to the presidents and benefactors George W. Childs and Anthony Drexel.
⢠The dining room table belonging to Garrett A. Hobart, U.S. Vice President under President McKinley. (Hobart was born in West Long Branch and died in office, predeceasing President McKinley.)
⢠Two Tiffany windows: One is dedicated to George Talbot, a summer resident, and is cataloged by Tiffany Studios. The other is dedicated to L.B. Brown, the founder of Elberon, which is named for him.
⢠The church's original pipe organ.
⢠The church's guest book of attendees.
⢠A horse-drawn engine from the Atlantic Fire Company.
⢠A horse-drawn sleigh.
After Dinkelspiel died in 1997, Mrs. Dinkelspiel operated the museum until 1999 when its contents and artifacts were removed because of the deteriorating condition of the church.
