  • Today we are exploring the abandoned TESTORS Factory headquarters located in Rockford, IL. The building was built around the turn of the century, and we found some pretty incredible relics from that time period inside. Today the building sits abandoned, awaiting demolition.

    I explore the various abandoned and decrepit buildings and locations that pepper the world. These places are remnants of the past, and I enjoy documenting them for all to see before they succumb to man or Mother Nature. Join me as I enter the belly of the beast and show you what these abandoned buildings have to offer on the inside. Happy Hunting and I wish everyone safe explorations :)
    NEVER VANDALIZE, NEVER STEAL, NEVER BREAK IN.

      I live in Rockford and have been past the place a million times. I've always wanted to explore it. Thanks for doing this.
      I went through an abandoned part of the Liebevich steel plant and it was awesome. Access has since been closed off.

    Another cool explore! I had completely forgotten about Testors paint until you posted this. Brought back some memories (the paint, not the factory!). Love the Regular Dope find!

    Thanks for a fun explore! I really enjoyed the funky colors and all the equipment in the basement and the elevator. Interesting that they didn't use steel. Thanks again!

    I went here with my cousin after exploring part of the Barcol Factory in Rockford (couldn’t explore all of it, way too damn big) and I couldn’t see and on the lower level and stepped on a nail. It was my fault for being an amateur explorer and not being proper equipment

    Of all the places homeless people can go, i don't understand how some choose the most toxic places. Also the dope was a cool find, 15 cents man... must have closed a long time ago

      I'd literally rather sleep in a bush than in that boiler.

    I'm so mad at myself. We went here but stayed on the first floor bc it felt pretty sketchy so we shot a little bit and dipped. The rest of the place is so cool!

    • @lordexplores
      @lordexplores  4 роки тому +1

      The area was certainly a bit sketchy 😬 The basement was my favorite part of the place.Thanks for watching, Tonya!

    Depending on when this was built, that could feasibly have been a shelter for the workers to hide in in case of a bombing or nuclear warfare

    • @lordexplores
      @lordexplores  4 роки тому

      Interesting thought. I've been to many schools with exactly that in the basements.

  • @marysiawasiljew

    Is this place still standing? I'm moving to Rockford but I don't know exactly where these abandon places can be found.

    Love your channel so we subscribed :)
    We are from Norway and we recently visited one of the most haunted places here «HARASTØLEN». The last video of the series is up on friday. We also have other exploring videos up on our channel!

    Hi, please tell me you took the phone and the wallet to the police ??? as even if their was nothing left in the wallet they will be able to extract fingerprints and anything kept on internal memory to find the owner. So now you can become a dealer with all that dope there ready to go 😂😂 oh man who calls their product dope I mean seriously ?? 😁. A cool explore, although I'm wondering what idiot carries his trash up to the third floor, wouldn't you just dump it on the ground or even better just get rid of it responsibly people wth. Thanks for sharing, stay safe and well, much love. xx💖

    • @lordexplores
      @lordexplores  4 роки тому +1

      Not much the police could do with the wallet and phone. And yeah, we were very puzzled by the trash rooms 🤔 Thanks for watching, Sue!

    Thanks for your videos. It occurred to me if we continue to 'Buy Off Shore' but in more volume we'll be able to put even more citizens out of work and their employers bankrupt! You'll have EVEN MORE abandoned buildings to explore. We'll be able to 'Remenise' about the people that used to work there, losing their homes, and going on welfare, and struggling to get by. What a great idea huh ? We're Doomed anyway ! Surf City, CA †

    Wait...is that a regular thing to find stolen items in these types of places?

    • @lordexplores
      @lordexplores  4 роки тому +1

      Unfortunately, yeah. I once explored a house with over 10 purses scattered around the floor. Guessing they were from robberies. Here’s the link to that video: ua-cam.com/video/SZPO6zRBm0c/v-deo.html

    I think the vault might be chemical storage. Fire proof and all of that, I know it's a requirement for certain types of chemicals. Could be wrong though.
