Year One had the Redridge dam, year two had the Atlas Powder Plant. Year three had the Stella Cheese Factory. An awesome ruin that was actually originally a mine building.

If the upper portion of the stack fell over I would expect some damage to the top of the remaining stack - which there is none. Most telling to me is how the attached ladder isn't seemingly disturbed in any way, which would be odd if the stack broke in two. I still think it was purposely removed, most likely as you suggest for scrap. Of course if that was the case, why not take down the whole stack? I guess saying that leaves open the possibility once again of it simply falling off, but I'm still not convinced.... It might of collapsed, but it looks to have been too clean of a cut for that.

We'd love to see those! Hi Dan,

I recall when the Mass City factory shutdown in the early 50's. Remember going to the factory with my dad to turn over the wheels of cheese. Stella Cheese is still a favorite of many. Can't find a better Asiago! My uncle was the head cheesemaker at Baltic and my father,likewise, was at the Mass City factory. I recall when the Mass City factory shutdown in the early 50′s.

Not sure if the scrap hounds have hauled it off yet... The stack top has fallen to the ground nearby. Not sure if the scrap hounds have hauled it off yet…
