As you drive south from Poughkeepsie along Route 9 you’ll see the abandoned Sedgwick Machine building near the Hudson River. Sedgwick used to make elevators. Though the train still passes faithfully at its feet dozens of times a day, the company—like so many other riverfront industries—closed long ago.
Cool shot. There is an old building adjacent to this abandoned tower that was part of another now defunct company called Spoor & Lasher. The office is located in a separate small brick building built in 1909. I was wondering if you had any history on this property as well??
