Down the road (still Middle Road) is an old house and a few buildings.
This is one - a collapsed storage building or barn.

An old Air Brake building, off from Pearl Street, Watertown. Top the side is a
large concrete parking lot.

Another side;
surprisingly a section of the far corner that you can see in this photo is used
by a church. Nearby this building is a gentle hill which is where the old
landfill has been covered over years ago.

A close-up of the
previous side. Notice how many windows there were, many of which are broken
now.

Another building
nearby (Foundry Building?), close to the Pearl Street entrance. Some of these buildings that
made up the Air Brake are being used and are in good condition while others are
not in such good condition but seem to be in use. With some of the
buildings it is hard to tell which are being used, which are used for storage,
and which are completely unused.
Mark H. says "Great website. Born and
raised in upstate NY. Moved away 20 yrs ago. Remember when my dad worked at the
Air Brake. Sad to say this is what our country has come to. All our American
made factories in ruins." |

This the lower wall
and ruins of something I found off from the Black River-to-Watertown
Trail. Probably a barn building of some kind, built of limestones it
seems.

Another view.
Most of
the trail is built on a railroad track foundation but this particular
section (the part closest to the village of Black River) was built on the
remains of an old road; the Woodard Hill Road, and connects up to the
railroad track foundation where the trial continues. There are numerous
pieces of old farm machinery scattered around, and parts of the building
and miscellaneous items.

Right beside these
foundations is a small, low six-sided concrete structure. A
silo I guess. Very
unique.

Another view, you can
see the six-sided concrete thing is right up against the foundation
of the building. The
stone wall is moss-covered and incongruously looks a hundred years
older then the concrete structure, which is in fairly good
condition. To the left in this photo you can see the
blacktopped walking trail close by.

A closer shot
looking down into it. Vines, junk, and the remains of an old snow
fence are in it.
