Description
Wired | Fine Art Urban Industrial Photograph by Colleen Kammerer ~
Telephone wires drape across the sky in front of the remains of the old Michelin building. As of 2017 this site has since been bulldozed down only the water tower and smoke stack remain.
The Michelin Tire Company was built in 1907 in Milltown, NJ. In 1930 the Michelin Tire Company closed its doors, affecting the community psychologically and financially. Milltown depended on the company for "wages, entertainment and support." During the time of the Great Depression, most of the French workers returned to their homeland. The buildings were bought and sold several times, they now remain abandoned, a reminder of a once booming industry. Today the property where the old factory was, waits to be redeveloped.
