j with all due respect, and a goodly sum of that, i feel what you have shown in the old power house for the mill. it is my belief that water came down form the source in that big metal pipe shown there. the turbine was also enclosed. the object that you called the "water wheel" is really the generator with most of the copper windings removed, probable for scrap value. this electricity would then power the factory mill. check on the main castings to see a maker's name. with a model or serial number it may be possible to date the equipment. such a shame that these powerhouses can't be put to use making power today. the main structure is built and hydro electric is clean and safe. something that other forms of generation cannot claim. that you for showing all of this.
Thank you for the clarifications, I appreciate that! I’m not an industrialist myself, so I appreciate any and all confirmations of what I’m looking at. That makes much more sense! And I agree, it’s a shame that this pump house is left here to decay.
My goodness you have such a talent. Your presentation is great and adding history is just icing on the cake. You’d be a great documentarian. Love your videos.
Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ this was quite interesting, especially the shots you got of the Dam and the Winooski River. Keep up the good work Jason and be safe ✌️🇺🇲
Another cool video - I love seeing old machinery like that. It does look like there was a fire at one time - I noticed a lot of charred wood. I'm glad to see that the mill was repurposed instead of being torn down. Enjoyed it as always J-Man!!!
Interesting… now that you mention it, I could totally see there having been a fire at this pump house in the past. That may have further deteriorated it. And I agree, it’s always nice to see old mills being reused and repurposed!
So dope… I love old abandoned machinery I don’t know why but it’s just cool to see things that once used to operate on a daily basis just left behind to rot
My assumption is the face is supposed to be a rendition of Nikola Tesla. It bears a resemblance to him and that tracks based on his contributions to electricity. Intellectual graffiti. I like it!
How many videos in total have shown pixie (the person who leaves notes at the places she explored) I think her name was pixie as it said on the paper and do you think you will ever find her papers again Why didn’t you go in 10:34 that building
Honestly, while I’ve seen her papers in a lot of abandoned sites I’ve filmed at, I usually avoided putting it in the video just so I wasn’t putting her personal social media on blast. Whenever I see stuff like people’s Instagram or phone numbers, I try not to show it if possible.
Thanks for risking your life to give us a better view of the craggy abyss beneath the pump house. Shout out to the graffiti artist who created that face, which I'm guessing is Nikola Tesla. Honorary mention to the slightly less talented but just as poetic artist who casually scrawled DEEZ NUTS onto that one piece of machinery. 🤣
Yeah, if that is Nikola Tesla (which I think it is, and I think you’re right), then that is a really cool piece of artwork! LOL, that “DEEZ NUTS” graffiti tag is probably the least obscene one I saw there…
@@j-mass I'm glad you agree with my assessment of the face, though I'm only speculating. I can't believe DEEZ NUTS is even still relevant. That originated in the early 90's. Admittedly, it did give me a chuckle to see it as it appealed to my more juvenile side. It's just silly.

America has been slowly dismantled. It's all sad.
3:46 that wheel is either a generator or an AC motor. Thats a common edison style. Most likely a generator.

I really appreciate that, thank you so much! 🙏

Dude same here! I love seeing the remnants of the past left behind, especially in industrial sectors like this. It’s almost like a time capsule!
Very cool
Thanks dude! 🙌
Wow awesome 😱📹👍👍
Thanks so much! 🙌
@@j-mass welcome ✨✨👍☺️
Graffiti face is amazing! Noticed that the graffiti wasn’t painted until after the floors were no longer . Just the bottom
I know right? That face was so cool! I love artwork like that!

Oooh nice, that makes sense! Very cool!
Noice!
Dope spot! Too bad there isnt more info about it
I know, I wish there was! At least I was able to find a lot of history on the mills!

A couch covered in graffiti, now that hilarious.
