Description
I found this Coal Breaker in Lykens, Pennsylvania. These structures are rapidly disappearing in Northeastern Pennsylvania. I would say for the obvious structural designs you can see in the image. It looks like a very unpleasant place to work.

Hot, noisy, smelly I bet.... but a beautiful old structure. Were you able to get inside? Looks like a place I could spend hours in... just me and my camera.

Nope, never been to Lykens, but that is a typical breaker from a small operation mine. Noisey. Yes, these things crushed coal into smaller chunks, smell? Maybe all the dust in the air. Dangerous? In more ways than one. Still, these were a critical part of the Industrial Revolution and which led, eventually, to a higher standard of living to the point where coal seems quait to many folks. I do hope you have more of these to share.
