Rows of textile patterns stretch off into infinity. The amount of patterns - those represented in this picture were only a fraction of the total - were staggering. Most still appear usable.

Scranton Lace Company, Scranton PA. 2008

If you'd like to learn more about this location, it is a featured chapter in the book "Abandoned America: The Age of Consequences," which you can order signed copies of here. It's also available (unsigned) through Amazon/Barnes & Noble/Powells/Indiebound/Booksamillion.

You may also be interested in my new book, Abandoned America: Dismantling the Dream, available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and many other online booksellers across the globe.
