Patterns of Decay...

This is a photo of the old Sykes Datatronics Company in Rochester, NY.
Founded in 1969, the company made telecommunication equipment.
In 1982 it had 700 employees. It went backrupt in 1985. Today the building is abandoned.

An ugly fact of life, but so meaningfully presented in your photo.

What a sad sight to see, I guess the building has been there a very long time...

It is a terrible shame and such a waste. But manna for photographers. I wonder if you can get inside?

This is so sad to see. What a waste... But sometimes the repairs are just too much for people to stay

Sad to see the decay, but it looks like a great building for photographic exploration. Can you get inside??
