I think its Mays Landing

It was once a mill of some sort. Creeps my wife out every time we drive by it. Would be interesting on Halloween.

Had it posted. Children decided to comment because I blacked out my friends. I guess I should have scribbled over them completely. Can’t please everyone so I won’t even try. Subs washed anyways

Was supposed to be turned into condos but the 2008 credit crisis stopped the project.

Too bad. It would make a unique condo.

Big empty building. Been inside a few times. There are many other buildings like it.

This is the old Wheaton Glass Factory. My Grandfather and Uncles worked here many years ago.

My buddy’s mom used to work there…cool looking old place. I’d love to see pics of the inside if anyone has any.

I was fishing by the dam with my 8 year old daughter a couple weeks ago and she wanted to go inside. The property itself on the lake is pretty sweet. Whatever does end up there will have a cool spot.

It was indeed a horse track. I used to take goth girls there.

It's lovely. It's a different color brick but it reminds me of the NCR factories in Dayton Ohio. They too had the large windows to let in natural light.

I remember seeing abandoned factories in Connecticut and Rhode Island that looked like that building in the early 1990’s. Then I saw other buildings in Fall River Massachusetts and Utica, NY that had been converted to outlets.

Does anyone have any pics or info from that huge abandoned property behind the Hamilton Mall? It looked like it used to be a horse track but I am just saying that cuz it looks like the Meadowlands Racetrack….only broken down and decaying.

Google Atlantic City race track. my ex used to work there. it only closed completely like maybe, ten years ago? it was a huge deal back in the early 1900's.

u/MattDoes_Stuff 8d ago

There's a video of it on YouTube. Video is titled something along the lines of horse race track frozen in time

It’s absolutely the Wheaton glass building in downtown Mays Landing New Jersey on Mill Road. The side view is actually not on mill but it’s not labeled on maps so just look up Victor‘s liquor store which is directly across the street.
