You'll Never Guess What We Found - Forgotten in the Woods

Journey with Jay and I spotted something peculiar using Google maps in the Rosendale, New York area and had to go check it out.

Just to clarify, I did not cut open that fence. Looks like it's been like that for years.

Hey, man, just a tip to remember when doing urban exploring: If you ever have any question as to whether flooring or stairs may collapse, but you're dead-set on exploring anyway, ALWAYS try your best to step as closely to the walls or banisters as possible. That's where any remaining structural stability will be found, and where you're the least likely to go crashing down. It was making me so nervous watching you guys go up and down those treacherous stairs when you were stepping on them close to the middle of each step. Try to remember to keep safety as your #1 priority whenever you're out exploring anywhere that's risky - especially when you're in the middle of nowhere and medical help has no quick or convenient means of reaching you.

The "typewriter" is a Burroughs F 1000 bookkeeping machine from c. ~1950. The building was likely an accounting and records office for the plant if I had to wager a guess, hence all the file boxes strewn everywhere.

Hi, Chris, at 13:15, the machine you are looking at is a Burroughs Sensimatic, which I believe to be from the early 1950's and I believe it was called a Comptomitor. I worked for Burroughs Corp. from April, 1965 till about April of 1982 The Comptomitor was a forerunner of the earliest computers and I think it was all mechanical and was probably just before they started using electronics. I will start trying to learn more about Burrough's history and try to let you know what I find out, if you're interested. God Bless and stay safe.

You're approaching the perfect urbex mix there. A tramp through the woods, industrial monoliths and a characterful house with enough left inside to offer a little mystery.

I can't believe you guys bushwhacked that way, prob the hardest route in! Lol I love that place, been there lots of times and such a beautiful area. There are 3 trails to the cement towers that I remember, 2 from the north and 1 from the south. Lot of cool stuff in that area too like the locks, bike path, Widow Jane and the Synder Estate. Just wish people would stop vandalizing abandoned things so they can be enjoyed for more years to come. I got some cool pics in the admin "house" a few years back, nice to see it still standing and nearly unchanged.

The wildest thing when finding places like these is imagining how in their heyday, they were places people lived, worked, thrived, now only seeing humans every so often. Valuable properties once.

Typewriter is a Burroughs alphanumeric accounting machine.

[GoodAttitude-hqtt]

I recognize that machine anywhere, it’s a Burroughs Alphabetic Accounting Machine. Used for accounting. I’m an accountant so yeah thank God we have computers now or that’s what we would still use. Fun huh? Great video as usual thank you great to see that. When things were still made in America. Good times.

I can tell you exactly what all the square light blue flat box-like items upstairs in the attic at 18:03 are... 16mm film reel containers for transporting and storing large16mm movie film reels after having been developed. Those appear to be the 16" size which held up to 2000' of developed film. This is how any movies that were shown in schools, business training programs, colleges and many other applications were shipped and protected. There are both tops and bottoms visible. The film reels were put into the bottom half, then the tops were fitted over the bottoms and secured using the canvas straps that were then buckled tight to lock them closed These were in common use from the 20's through the early 80's until VHS tapes began to be used for the same kind of educational materials. Many libraries and schools still have stacks of these slowly decaying boxed film reels in deep storage. Probably over 90% of every old video you've ever seen came from these 16mm films before being copied to VHS or digitized. Any kid from the 70's on back through the 40's who took a history class (that is every kid who went to Jr High or High School) has seen these when the teacher showed films with a big projector. They just don't remember the boxes the films came in... Sometimes the boxes were a greyish tan in addition to the blue or black. Hope that was a contribution to outdated information. Sometimes we old boomers are actually useful. And in person, actually pretty cool.... ;)

8:59 I'm amused at how no one is able to access the top of the silos to spraypaint or to steal the copper wiring.
Thanks for the tour Chris!
👍🤠

Very interesting find, especially the house. Thanks Chris and Jay

[scottrider]

This was absolutely awesome. Great videography as usual.
Thanks, Chris

[RonzHigh]

You sir. Have some damn good content on your channel. Been a follower for a few years now and it seems that I don't skip any of your videos. Love how thorough you were with that drone. I wanted to take in every second of that chunk of history. Thanks Chris!

Looking at that old picture of when it was in operation makes me think about all the people that must have worked there just like any other job or place & could never imagine it buried in the forest & abandoned. Another great video Chris. I've never missed one.

[omgcool]

I was just watching a video of a house being built, and now seeing this old house nearly reduced to the studs gives me such an odd feeling--to think that decades ago the same amount of attention, care, and pride went into this building, and something new and exciting was created, probably a shining moment and beacon of accomplishment to multiple people; but now it rests in sad and lonely decay, its purpose having been fulfilled, and now forgotten. Thinking back to the video of the new house, it is, in a weird way, sad to think that a similar fate may await it decades from now. A bittersweet curse of inevitability.

[FutureCityTV]

There's a body buried ander the old house

👋🏻Chris, Awesome Sites You Find Very Interesting, Thank You For Sharing🙂👍🏻

During the cold war many buildings were CD fallout shelters.Churches, Schools, Office buildings ect. My parochial school had barrels of survival biscuits, water, first aid kits and even several Geiger counters in the church and school basement. Common in steel mill towns.

Chris and Jay thanks for all your exploration, sadly my health prevents me from exploration, always enjoyed forgotten places, Be careful please ❤
