For many years, I wondered about this seemingly abandoned and fenced off structure in downtown Concord, NH. I was told it was a gas holder house, which according to Wikipedia is a structure built to surround an iron gasholder in which gas is stored until it is needed.
One day last week after work, I stopped to make some images. The fence combined with a few trees and power lines, made getting good camera angles a trick but here is my best attempt. I also wondered what it looked like inside. These BW images are from the Library of Congress and included interior and exterior views.
look alike you stopped to get your photos at just the right time on such nice day – the shadows are my favorite part – and just love the brick. the LOC images are nice to contrast also – 🙂
Thank you. It is not far from work, so I waited for a day and time with good light. At first, I saw the tree as an obstacle but the shadow on the brick did make for a nice image. Cheers.
who did! ha! and have a good day
You also 😀
was supposed to be “sure did:”
Great attempt..The structure looks appealing not at all like a gas holder! 🙂
Thank you Izza. I guess this is the old fashioned way to store gas. It is a pretty interesting building. Cheers!
Chris! I also have a nag for touring such places! I wish I could do that somehow meanwhile I am happy you keep updating 🙂
Thank you Izza…It seems we both like these old deserted places. Cheers
ya Cheers 🙂
Great images! Wouldn’t it be nice if you could get in?
I’d love it, though I heard there are issues of toxicity and critters (pigeons, squirrels) living inside. Perhaps, just a peek – Thank you
Brilliant stuff!
Thank you…You can see this building as you come off the highway and I’ve always been curious about it.
