- Welcome to my first episode of my new mini series called What is it Wednesday's? These shorter length videos will be findings that I come across on my travels of anything that's exciting, interesting, odd or even bizarre.
This first episode is a location I found while out exploring and it caught my attention. Not only did I come across a small wooden structure, but also something made completely out of stone and they may be connected to each other, but what is it?

Welcome to my new mini series. These shorter style videos will show up on certain Wednesday's when I find things that are interesting, unique, one of a kind or even bizarre.
What did I find this time? Well hopefully you can share your thoughts in the comments.
This is a telemetry and chlorine shack for a public water system. When it was in use there would have been some measuring instruments/gauges in the building, along with a diffuser to add chlorine to the water system, which was used then and is still used today as a disinfectant to bacteria in the drinking water. The numbers on the wall are most likely quick math when figuring out the chlorine dosage for the water usage. Typically the chlorine cylinders like what is still in the building would sit on a scale so that you could track how much chlorine was left in the cylinder. A neat glimpse into the past of a public water system.
Glad your information confirms my original thoughts and theory. I appreciate you sharing that with us
@@JPVideos81 absolutely. I spent 10 years working for a small water system in rural Arkansas. We had a couple very similar buildings along our distribution system to make sure we maintained a chlorine residual throughout the whole system. Chlorine is also used to disinfect treated wastewater effluent, so it is possible your location was for wastewater treatment instead of drinking water. The building served the same purpose for both types of systems. Now that I think about it, this could be wastewater as the clay pipe with the top busted out is more in line with wastewater. The small concrete structure near the stream could have been where the treated and chlorinated wastewater was introduced into the small water stream.
I wonder why they left the tank.
I would agree a small chlorination station. Today there would be a fan down low (chlorine gas is heavier than air) to evacuate any gas in the event of a leak, and switches on the outside of the building to control the fan and lights. There would also be a window so you could look inside before entering.
You know your stuff, were you in that field? Thank you, Rik
Yes! Looking forward to more of these mini explores! Interesting!
Great idea Jason! Keep them coming! Interesting. 👍
Really enjoy your videos. Looking forward to more What is it Wednesdays.
That's a good length video.
Loved the first what is it wednesday!! Hopefully many more to come!!💙
Hey Jay! Just wanted to say that I really like this new series idea you are starting! Awesome idea and so much can be done with it. Something to look forward to each week! Thank you as always for quality content as I know a lot of work goes into your vids!
Thanks Lulu
Love all your videos. Very interesting and entertaining. Keep up the good work. God bless!
Great location for What Is It Wedesday! You're right, most structures you find that size are concrete or stone. But this one was wooden. Maybe it was a monitoring station. No idea what was in that tank. Very curious! But the sign had a company name and an old phone number, so you could do an online search later on to find out more about the business and the purpose of that station. It's always a great day when you find a new adventure, Jay! Thanks for bringing us along!💙
Central California watching
Love these little adventures good with cuppa chill out.
That's a old meter base on the outside of the 2nd building.
Interesting find! Thanks for sharing. That structure reminded me of an outhouse lol. God Bless
Interesting finds. Enjoyed the shorter video for this type of find. I learn things from the comments that add to what you do. You've created a really cool community here.
Many of the viewers are extremely helpful and knowledgeable and I appreciate everything they share.
these look like spring houses from way back, we have a couple on my property
At @5:22 nay fuses.... that is the four prong connection for an electric meter.
The stone building is a spring house.
Spring likely went dry, so they tapped for water and put in a pump - and that's the second building.
Yes! I thought maybe a spring house afterwards. Thanks for watching.
You are probably correct. My first thought was it might have been an old Powder Magazine for the storage of dynamite and or other explosives.
Well I initially thought the stone structure was a pump house and the wooden one definitely was not. As you hypothesized it may have been a testing or monitoring station since there were many old industries nearby. But, again I have no idea what was in that tank? Love the new Wednesday finds. Thanks for taking us along!
Something to do with water treatment or testing. Thanks for the tour and great idea for the series. I do come across some unusual stuff as well.
This was fun and a great new idea. Thank you! I really like the way some of these stone buildings were put together with what was around. And it’s still standing 🧐
Thank you for sharing this small shack 😊💙
Interesting Wednesdays, I love it JP. That device, that looks like a radiator, that is interesting to see. Could be a device to cool off electrical systems. Very cool looking little building. 👍👍👍👍
Looks like the stone structure was a spring and the wooden one was a pumphouse. The pumphouse probably had a heater in it to keep it from freezing up in the winter (propane tank?). Maybe there was a little footbridge crossing over the creek (boxes were some sort of foundation)? Interesting find!
What is it Wednesdays... Very Cool Jay...good idea😊
This was so interesting! I agree with you, definitely has something to do with water management, especially the locations of the buildings. Maybe pumphouse and water meter station? It was cool to see the math and calculations on the wall. I wonder if the carcass was a fox, and it decided that was going to be its home. The first structure is another awesomely constructed one, the stonework is just amazing. "What is it Wednesday?" series is fantastic and really fun JP, I love it! Thank you! 💙
It definitely had my curiosity on alert and it was a nice short and interesting stop. The comments are telling more of what I found and I can't wait to share my next finding. 💙
Love this format and length of the video. This is something I’ll look forward to seeing more of. A++
Interesting finds Jp thanks for sharing this with us.
👍🏻😁
Thanks for the interesting video.
Very interesting finds ...love to see structures with hand laid stone work . Long or short ... your new adventures are always fun .
Those stone structures certainly have lots of charm and characteristics to them. 💙
@@JPVideos81 ...👍💙
Crazy how that carcass had all those corn cobs around it. There's a story behind that that we'll never know.
Sweet find JP, it's something dealing with a pumping system, looking like the main pumps were removed about fifty years ago, maybe more, though I would have thought that the fuel cylinder would have been removed at the same time,
Check the location against USGS NWIS mapper. Could certainly be an old streamgage like you were thinking. If so, that tank probably had nitrogen.
Hi Jay. Hope you are doing well. Thanks for sharing. Awesome video.
Thanks Kat!
Great n idea for a series Jay. I think it’s some kind of water station but could it be some kinď of testing station?
I have no idea what these structures are JP but an interesting find all the same for a bonus Wednesday! ❤
Great video JP and I can’t wait to see where this series takes us
Lots of fun and interesting places to document for this new series!
The 717 area code is located in south-central Pennsylvania. It covers many counties, including Lancaster, York, Dauphin, Cumberland, Franklin, Lebanon, and Adams.
Major cities in the 717 area code:
Harrisburg, Lancaster, Chambersburg, Carlisle, Hanover, Hershey, and Gettysburg.
Can confirm I'm from Franklin County.
Thanks for sharing. It was used in many counties around me such as Lackawanna & Luzerne, but they changed it out closer to 20yrs ago.
@@JPVideos81yeah, Lycoming county used to have the 717 area code as well.
You find the coolest things.
I like it !! What is it Wednesday's!!!👍👍 cool little buildings out there ya never know till you check it out !! Great video as always!!👍👍
Many more interesting things to come.
Very interesting finds but we are left with more questions than answers, not a clue to what it is.👍👍
Hey bud i havent seen QT taggings anymore. Great video, always enjoy your findings
well nice is different glad some viewer knew what it is thanks see u on wed
Thanks awesome video I enjoyed watching
Googled the 305 cherry street address out of curiosity. Hasn't been used by that company in at least 16 years. Looks like a potentially cool area with lots of history in desperate need of renovation
1:40 Looking around, that is 2 different structures. The large pured concrete slab in the back is one and the stacked stones with metal posts are something else.
5:18 That is what a 200A power meter plug in to, so fuses would not have gone there.
8:22 That green bit hanging in the back is a thermocouple, so yes, that has to do with heating or cooling,
Ty for the corrections
I liked this one. Interested to find out what these were.
The carcass is a fox, the skull is a giveaway. The stone building is likely a spring house, the stream likely is fed by springs,would be conmon in that region.
Agree with the wood building, likely a monitoring/ treatment shack for the water. The cylinder was too rusted to tell, they are color coded and the color tells you what they are. Could be chlorine if it is a treatment shack. Having heat would lend itself to that, otherwise the water pipe w the water being treated would freeze.
Was hoping someone would say what it was. I'm a cat Mom to 3 so was hoping it wasn't a cat. :0
I think..for sure the pipes in the stone structure were to hold the ceiling. No doubt in my mind
Pumped water from the stream. Chlorine tank to treat the Water.
Those derelict buildings could be old pump houses as that would explain the location and the pipes.
Awesome finds! Maybe the first one was a pump house and the second one was its replacement and now their both outdated? But theres no evidence of a pump, valve control houses? Cool finds nonetheless!👍
Possibly
First place was a dairy. Second is a well house/pumping station
Back in the day cooling water for an industrial process was drawn from whatever water source. I wonder if that's what you found.
Cool video
Nice video
Definitely looks like a racoon to me, they can look like cats
Could be a river gauge. Measuring levels of something.
That mummified cat was crazy to see, wish you would have put your camera down into the crawl space so we could see what was going on down there. I wonder if the mathematics on the wall had to do with flow rates. Short and sweet. Thanks.
Honestly, i wanted to get the camera down there, but the quarters were so cramped in there and the floor was a mess. I was curious as well though!
@ I figured that might be the case, it seemed difficult to maneuver around near that doorway plus you’d have had to lay down with cleopatra’s cat 😂
@@CuriositiesCaptured 🤣
There was another (concrete) box located 15 or more feet away from the wooden building, to the left. Did you look at it?
I saw it and it's identical to the one on the other side. I just didnt show it on camera since it's the same.
Very interesting! The fuses are at least 60+ yrs old, maybe 80 for the longer ones. I’m no expert. But why the corn cobs? Unless there was an out house nearby. 😉🌙
Maybe an animal was taking refuge in there and was stocking up on corn.
old pump station or monitoring station
Love these vids👍
Glad to hear it
It's a sailboat. When you speak into it amplifies your voice.
cool video my guy, very interesting. we urbex in the uk its very different. will subscribe to you now
Could be a cistern for fire depts
Lol fuses? Really jason
That is where the electric meter was installed.
Correct. I made an error saying fuses.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻…….🌝
I regurarly look at shotgun shells oretty much every day
Those fuses look nothing like shotgun shells
If you squint and don't know what shotgun shells look like then the fuses kinda maybe look like shotgun shells.
Not really but kinda maybe.
Un capteur d'eaux du ruisseau ou une station d'épuration des eaux venant des quelques maisons que l'on aperçoit à travers les arbres ?
JP Je t'ai envoyé des photos de bigfoot sur ton jpvideos81 . Ce service te les a t'il renvoyé ?? Sinon qu'il les détruise. Merci.
717 is still currently active
Not for Scranton/wilkes barre for the past 25 years or so, it’s 570 now
Lol at the animal carcass comment. People are soooo soft these days you are no different.
What's funny is in a recent video of an abandoned site the place was covered in spray painted schlongs but he didn't mention it.
Dead animal carcass bad, big painted floppy dongs OK.
This was used as a WW2 bunker to shoot out of from cover at the advancing enemy! Thanks for reading I made this up
