Piggary and Penstocks 📷Leica M4 🎞️TriX 🔭35/2.5 Color Skopar - Adaptive Multi Use was always a thing in Batsto Village - More in ALT #believeinfilm #filmismorefun #WhartonSF #bogiron

A monochrome film photograph of the piggery, the original water tower, and the carriage house at Batsto Village in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. I love the way this water tower building changes materials 2/3 of the way up when they added the extra height. The ironstone material used for the 1820s-era buildings must have run out by the 1850s, so red brick it was! Starting in the 1760s, and for about 90 years thereafter, Batsto was home to a sizable bog iron furnace starting in the 1760s. They made all sorts of home and industrial goods, even cannon and shot for the continental army during the American Revolution and War of 1812. Later, there was a glass works that made many of the streetlight globes for cities like Philadelphia and Camden.
