St. Nicholas Breaker

I have always had a special appreciation for large industrial buildings - not on the level of exploitation that occurs within them, but for the buildings themselves. Massive structures asserting their dominance over the land. Below are some pictures I've taken that I think illustrate multiple themes found throughout life, especially with decay.

These pictures are from Mahanoy City, PA. They are pictures of the St. Nicholas coal breaker.

That was the breaker then... here are some pictures of it now:
