One of the few two-story buildings, with major fire damage inside.
Workshop
Inside another building, some sort of workshop.
Machine Shop Roof
Outdoor view of the first building, the roof on this side is nearly rotted through. Most of the buildings were built with cinderblock walls, metal trusses, and wooden roofing.
Machine Shop
Judging from the abundance of 440 volt hookups in the building, this likely was some sort of machine shop.
Burned Steps
Even older looking stairs - the mine has history back to the 1800s, but this is probably not that old. The building on top of it appears to have burned, leaving behind electric wires and boxes.
Benson Mines is a long-abandoned iron mine near Watertown, NY.
The mine was shut down in 1978 and the buildings and have been completely abandoned ever since.
Abandoned man-made structures are my favorite to take pictures of, so I couldn't resist exploring!
