Fellows Gear Shaper Gallery, Springfield, Vermont

May 15, 2008: Most of these photos show the oldest buildings in the mill, built in the early 1900s. Many have wood siding and are currently painted red. A century of modifications, remodeling and deferred maintenance have created a pastiche of “accidental color” that is both beautiful and sad. A few of these photos were taken in 2003, but most were taken in May of 2008. In a couple of months, an ambitious redevelopment project will mean that most of what you see here will disappear into history. Take one last look. It can never be duplicated.
