Took the two youngest to their swim lessons today (in Dover) and swung by this old factory building for my PaD shot. This particular building was actually in the family a while back. Northern Heel was a manufacturer of Heels in NH and Maine (there was another factory in Lewiston-Auburn). My 11-year-old takes gymnastic lessons right down the street from this building, I've explained the significance of this to them a few times, but they don't really understand. At their age (and a little younger) I was running through this building, defying OSHA & other various safety regulations in place today that would prevent the experiences my brother & I had in this building.

Some day I might try to figure out who now owns this building so I can get access to the floors that I still remember. Every time I stand outside this building, I am amazed by how much smaller it actually is from what I remembered. There is a side building that I swear was much larger (well, technically the original side building was much larger until it burned down in the late 70's or early 80's).

This one was tough as the white [vinyl] siding doesn't help matters in the bright sun. This probably should have been a sunset shot, but I wouldn't be anywhere near it at sunset (actually it is setting right now as I type this).

I have another wider shot of the fire escape that didn't make my PaD.
