my addiction to exploring places from far back like this is incredible
Someone needs to go and get those old machines. Maybe give them to a museum.
Please notify the local historical society, those machines should be in a museum. Great find.
That would be Rockland County NY . They might not know because there is nothing on the web .
That was a terrific explore James! Lots of great stuff to look at. Thanks!
oh wow! What a fantastic place. it should be a museum. it's a crying shame that it's all left to ruin. Thank you for your great video and narrative. I'm subscribing!
Thank you . I am glad you liked it . Stay tuned for more ancient history !
Hi James to some comments all I could Say is WOW!.... Thanks for the great video...not just anybody could do what you do...
Thank you . People sometimes dont realize that Its 130 degrees dusty spiders and webs animals and waste , clutter and darkness . Chemicals smells watering eyes irritated skin .After filming that place I look like a coal miner . People dont think about stuff like that . Thats why sometimes I take you with me to see how hard it can be .
An old weaving room. Probably made burlap bags, horse blankets, that sort of thing. Cool.
You have some great vids brother. Thanks for sharing!!
Wow nice place you find there . like you take time and show all inside good.
Thank you . It was too amazing to just whiz right through .
I have to admit that you have an amazing ability to find the most interesting places. It's a wonder that this building sat for so long without picker/thieves clearing out all of the items there. Thanks for taking the risks that you do to show us these scenes from the past that may be gone forever in a short time. What a neat place this must have been in its day.
By the way, those sealed boxes probably contained spare parts for the machinery. I'm still in awe from seeing so much still undisturbed. This place must have had the local post office on the bottom floor and the "Marine Mail" slot was probably for mail destined for overseas as this was obviously a time before "Air Mail" was around or even probably thought of. This was truly one of your best finds. Keep up the great work.
When I was a kid there where places like this in every . They where always the farm property that the developer spared as most of the time it involved rare Dutch history back in the late 40s . A site like this sometimes comes once in a life time . Thank you for your compliments .Heddle is a part for looms
Abandoned NorthJersey Thanks for the reply and for the meaning of "Heddle". I was wondering about that. I bet the family of that person's birth certificate would like to have it. It's sad that its condition was so far gone, but considering its age it's amazing that it still exists.
It was dated 1889 . It looks to be an older mill that was rebuilt and enlarged around 1908 . Abric sounds eastern europe and there was a garment industry in NYC that involved alot of workers who where of jewish ancestry
Newspaper printing machines.
Peggy Sue Yes it is printing machine. Wow beautiful!!!
This stuff needs protecting its part of Your Country's Heritage.
it wasn't a textile mill. it was an office for someone who SUPPLIED a textile mill. Textile mills are HUGE.
Yes it would be a really small mill . This place might even be from around 1919 . I just called it a mill because of the heddle making machine upstairs and alot of old cans of dye . It was more then just a supplier per the upstairs machinery .
The marine mail is were they sorted the mail for all the different boot camp recruits. It was kept separate from the general mail by the government
May have been for mail carried by sea as opposed to Air Mail?
Very cool antiques in the attic, hopefully they can be saved.
The building is surrounded by bulldozers . Time is running out . Those machines are the only ones of their kind possibly . Or atleast one of them is . It seems possible that this is a building built in mid to late 1800s and renovated in the 1910s
Thats why I love abandoned places! its like a time capsule, you would never know that stuff existed by the outside.
Exactly . Some places for reasons unknown remain standing long past there prime .Alot of times its a good roof or a dry climate .
Fantastic find! Love your stuff. Almost makes me want to come back to Jersey!
Thanks . How long has it been since you left ?
Abandoned NorthJersey 2 years now
I really don't understand why you didn't take that box...
Heddles are used in weaving looms. The French Heddle Co made heddles (what else) and also imported Heddles from a French Company. They were listed as being on 24th Street in Manhattan but maybe they also once had the shop you were exploring. Not much info on the company. My guess is they have been out of business for a very very long time,
thats so awesome.thanks for sharing with us
Right where you 1st walked in, & said "Here's an old table" that was a telephone desk. The phone would be the wood crank style, & the directory laid on the desk (along with a notepad & pencil) The can was paint, lead base house paint, & would still be useable I would think (or it would be a rock hard lump). The "mystery box" would have been mounting hardware for those machines. Parts for setting them up. The large box you opened & called "gears" were actually wheels for a Hand Truck.(there was other things too but you picked up a H.T. wheel) A now long closed & tore down factory I worked in had antique Hand Trucks with wheels just like it. Thanks for posting it, & bravery on the rickety stairs.
Thanks . I worked in an old factory that started in 1922 . Almost all the machines where from 1915 thru the 50s . They had those old handtrucks and wagons from the old factory that still stands .That box I opened was smashed to smitherines and the boxes where stolen .The paint cans had labels on them from the 20s or 30s .
When did you work there ?
Abandoned NorthJersey Dec 1990 to Nov 1992
I started in aug 90 till 2002 . The company moved to Rhode Island . It is now being leased by DannonYogurt for storage of large spools of plastic and rubber . There was a creepy room with a cold iron bed and a closet full of surgical supplies from 1951 for people who needed first aid .
Imagine being in dire need of attention, & them having to treat you using that bed & equipment..... doh!
I was in that room a few times for a metal splinter but that was all . I would say that the old cold iron bed came from the original factory from 1922 judging by the label .
My best educated guess, is that "Marine Mail" was mail that was sorted to go overseas by ship.
WOW ! Thanks for that info .That upstairs is from then most likely . The machines are probably older and may have been used when they built the place probably in 1909 .The wood frame looks more that period . Strange that it was a mill . I guess electricity was not avalilable yet as it only started in the late 1890s . Who knows ?Thanks again .
Those foot pedal machines were used way after electricity was available because they worked. Especially sewing machines. People kept using them till they wore out and we used to make stuff to last here in the good old USA.
Yes they where used until circa 1957 , the last year I could find in a box of old receipts that spawned 1934 -1957 all signed with E.J.Abrics`s signature .That area was a different world during those times and was very isolated . I have seen factories like that when I was a truck driver from 98 till 2005 and I saw the tail end of many ways of life that I consider vanishing Americana in places like Paterson Hudson County Essex ,..with very old owners who owned them since back in the day . I miss those days .
I was really surprised you didn't try to open the box..I would be dying of curiosity. However, I think its wonderful that you had respect for private property. This was a amazing explore, absolutely fascinating and so full of history and mystery. I like the way you handle the camera, very thorough and slow enough for us to see what's there. Of course, the update was upsetting and disgusting that people feel free to vandal and steal. Thank you for the explore and look forward to the next one.
Thank you . I hope you can check out my latest time capsule vid .
I'd like to salvage that place before it collapses.
that's an old print shop
Article said The French Heddle Co. Moved from 592 Manhattan Ave. Brooklyn to 117-119 East 24th street New York.
They are sole dealers for United States of Devillaines heddles. I am pretty sure that the location in this video has nothing to do with the company "French Heddle" . Back then
glass was much more expensive than it is today. They warehoused used glass and sold them to other businesses at a discount if there was lettering on the glass that could not be removed. THIS EXPLAINS the one side that was painted over. !! Was that mill part of United States of Devillaines heddles? that's the mystery. I love the internet !!!
The thing that looked like a light/speaker was a old 1920-30's permanent wave machine, might have had a beauty salon in there at one time.
Cool place. It may have been a house originally and the business type doors brought in. Also, the machinery almost looked like old printing machines and if it was a post office the machines could have been related to that.
Jan Ramey commonly post offices was located in other businesses and yes those was printing presses circa late 1800s to early 1900s
the desk was beautiful. ...i hope it was saved
It most likely was .
The lamp was a hair dryer from the 1960's and the boxes hair colour.
up stairs room..loooked as though it had been used for various things...printers,,,weaving loom...hair drier ..i could be wrong[ as usual].lol.xx
The building was built for the French Heddle CO around 1920-30 and used by that company until around 1958 .The first floor might have had a hair salon and was stored up there for decades . Where did ou see a printer . There are 2 machines and both are looms .Was it on the first floor . ? Thanks for your interest . The building might be from around 1910 .
That old machine is a printing press and wood wheel is where the flat belt goes around to the motor
Both machines where used in textile part manufacture . The wooden one was made shortly before the 1930s using an older machine . . It is sort of handmade . The smaller machine is alittle older then 1930s 20s maybe teensThis building may not be 100 yet .
ahh you are right.2 looms on top floor.xx
The one machine was a printing press
did u go back an open those boxes?
Hey Middlesex county Nj here! Just found your channel, do you remember the abandoned insane asylum across from menlo park mall, my friends and I loved exploring that place. Now it’s a target 🙁. Great channel subscribed and will share!
Thank you . I have been to that area and I have seen a lot of cool places to explore .I never went to that insane asylum .Sounds like a good place to go .
maybe it was a press like for magazines or news papers or sewing machines very interesting thanks !
Thank you . I am glad you found it interesting . Those machines where textile related . I believe those machines relied on a belt driven system from a water driven force that no longer exists
Cool vid!
Do you have any pictures of that birdsong hogan house
Interesting video. 👍
Yes indeed . I learned more about it and found the its been dormant upstairs for nearly 60 years or more .It became a different business as the signs are painted over probably in the early 70s .
Abandoned NorthJersey that's awesome,
What's in the box!!!! A head maybe? What in the box Morgan
Wow, video!
nice place for a disco!
Womens hairdryer from a salon.
The "lamp" was actually a hair dryer my friend!
Yes Helene Curtiss art deco late 1920s. Floating air . Very rare model and there are none on ebay or etsy .
I did a flashlight video of this place and go into greater detail on that old hair dryer and I clean it up alitlle .Will post soon
those were for old belt drives either steam or water driven
Yes there is a connection of shafts and gears that leads to the outside .From the inside you can see a gear box that it leads to . It seems to have been converted into a different business . Electricity came about 1897 to my area northern bergen county . So maybe it was built around 1895 . A ledger is there indicating the busiiness was started in 1930s
Heddle is a part of a loom so my guess is the machines upstairs were looms
Yes definately
French Heddle Co moved from Brooklyn to NY in 1909
Although there is an ad for the same company dated 1918 on east 23rd street in NYC .Check the links below
I would guess the machines are old printing equipment
Nope no printing without the actual letter dies . more like weaving of some sort the wooden wheel was belt driven so had a belt power for either electricity or water
Fascinating video! The glass on the door is quite beautiful.
Did you go back to open the box? If so, what was in it?
I went back to do a flashlight version and the box is still there . I might do an unveiling . It seems if I dont it would be unfair .
And I agree about the door . Not very often something that old still survives .Not to mention the entire upstairs !
I do hope you go back and investigate further. I feel there is more to explore and find.
But that door glass is a treasure. Will the owner be willing to give it to you? It can be cleaned and would look so lovely in a home. Just a suggestion 🌻
I found out where it is located so I might be able to contact the rightful owners . Or somewhere so that those machines can be saved . There are bulldozers surrounding it so it might be too late .
Abandoned NorthJersey
Please keep us updated on this. You have my curiosity now 👍👍
the machines in the attic looks like a counterfietters machine where they made money.
I checked uner the floor boards and there was no dough
From what the sign says outside it looks like they manufactured equipment for textile mills.
They made Heddles .The machines are from 1909 . It closed about 50 years ago or more .
Thanks for the info. - you do good work.
Awesome, how did you hear about this place?
It was surrounded by demolition equipment so that caught my attention.
Curiosity got the better of me and tried to find info on the name on the door, couldn't find anything.. Would love to know what's in the box though lol
I might go back with a pryer and do an unveiling vid . I found out that Heddle is a loom part . This company dealt with heddles . AS for Abric ?? There was that Jewish certificate and the textile industry in Manhattan was largely jewish and Abric sounds eastern European plus the area is heavily orthodox jewish and hassidic very very close by to this site .
Theoretically speaking of course .
I had no luck on the Abric" either .. an unveiling would be exciting lol
this place must be known to more people i suggest, you are not the first person there sins the 1800 right?
It was built around circa 1900 ? The upstairs was closed in the very late 1950s . The first floor was lived in until about 25 years ago or more .
A like and a subscribe for a very fantastic job
really appreciate you coming up with these places to explore but...... you need to pay more attention to what you're looking at. go spend some time in a local library to learn how to visually date items. the certificate you found most likely had a date on it, you need to look at it. Big Thing for your next excursion, carry a backpack with basic tools & another empty pack to take interesting items/finds in... so you can investigate further.
Yes I learned alot about architecture and framework because of this place . I heard it was demolished last spring .When I first saw it from the road I thought it was a renovated mid 1800s structure .I looked more closer at the frame work and looked on the web at machines from each decade . Seems the machines are from around 1920 .The certificate date was 1922 . The boxes contained heddles made of brass and looked 1920s or 30s as returned to find the boxes opened and some stolen .The small box was business cards for EJ Abric Co from the 30s
looks to be a old papermill.
please don't leave beautiful antiques to get dozed!😕
I want to see what in the mystery boxes . And yes those machines will hopefully be salvaged .
u loook age 22
I was in 1986
