POTD: Domino Sugar Refinery

Today's selection are a couple of photographs from the article, interview and photo essay, "The Urban Lens: See the last photographs of the abandoned Domino Sugar Factory," at 6sqft.com. Photographer Paul Raphaelson received the chance in 2013 to be the last photographer allowed into the then-abandoned Domino Sugar Factory, and the photographs in the article, including the two here, are from his book Brooklyn’s Sweet Ruin: Relics and Stories of the Domino Sugar Refinery. The article includes an interview of Raphaelson who describes how he got permission to photograph the site, how he tracked down and interviewed former workers, and more. The first photograph I've included is a view of the outside of the factory and then I selected one of the interior shots. But there are lot of other photographs in the article, so be sure to check it out.
