Benny Farm

Some old Benny farm buildings still stand after 4 years of being slated for demolition.

Funny how they used the building’s doors to cover the window openings.

Tallest mark 49 1/4 another one reads august 4 1999, bottom reads 6 yrs 16 1/4

This find gave me the creeps, It made me reflect about the people living there previously and how something as simple as their grandkid/kid’s growth chart is the only trace of them living there. Everything else in the house was gutted and the walls were bare like all the other appartements.

The bottom floors were really disgusting, Floorboards were warped, black mold decorated the walls and most of the ceilings found their way onto the floor.
