Glencoe is a abandoned apartment complex that is hidden and even people that live nearby are unaware of its presence. The apartments are extremely dangerous to be in to the extensive damages and the floors are rotted out, almost lost my partner since he nearly fell thru the 2nd story floor. I walked over the area first, but he did the same and almost went completely thru.

All the floors and buildings were the same, so I didn't get alot of pics.







*Anyone see something interesting about this photo?*

Crosley Radio is a manufacturer of antique reproductions of the crosley brand of radio, record player, turntable, phonograph, cd player, antique telephones and antique reproductions of music boxes. Many of our current designs are authentic reproductions of the models originally designed by Powell Crosley.
In 1920, Powel Crosley, an auto accessories manufacturer in Cincinnati, OH, set out to purchase a simple radio set for his son. Shocked to learn that these sets were selling for $130.00 or more, he decided to build one himself, which he did â€" for $35.00. From that experience, Crosley went on to build one of the most successful electronics companies of the early 20th century.

This Distillery is located in a very beautiful and rural part of Northern Kentucky, I was amazed to see so much intact and hasn't had any fire damage, therefore I will not name the distillery or give its location in order to preserve this historic site.

I arrived at around 2:45PM and it took 5 hours & 10min to get through the entire 82 acre site. There are roughly 10 buildings on site with the creek running behind the massive complex. There is another distillery that is in operation next door to this defunct location. It got dark around 7:50PM and had to call it quits, unfortunately I only had 1 day to do this, but am sure I can revisit in the near future.

Now on to some promo pics til I sort em out.

*The Castle as it faces the street.*



*Emergency sign posted on different buildings*



*The open-air Peristyle with carved limestone columns and ionic capitals, surrounds the key to the distillery’s world-famous bourbon, the crystal clear spring, which was the distillery’s water supply. Appropriately, the spring reservoir was built in the shape of a large key-hole.*







*I was going to climb this tower to get a pic of the entire complex, however it was dark by the time I was nearly done, so I didn't get to*




*There were 2 High wine tanks and 2 low wine tanks in the castle*




*Some buildings were inaccessible, this was a massive building*



*This went over the road, not sure what it was*




*When the Distillery shut down back in the 70's, a new company took over and had a "mall" where people could buy crafts and whatnot, also was the painted castle on the wall.*
