Kiddie Kloes Abandoned Factory in Lansford, PA

When a friend sends a random link to an abandoned building that’s under an hour away with some pretty cool photos and an invite to go the next day, one goes along.  This morning a few of us rolled into the former coal cracking town of Lansford, PA, which in it’s day was probably something a tad nicer.  Life isn’t easy in former coal towns and this one has seen better days.  Lansford is the home to Kiddie Kloes, a clothing factory that made Cinderella brand clothing, amongst others.  Sadly, it closed in 1988 and has been neglected and to die by the side of the road, ironically in the center of the city, only a few dozen yards from the local football stadium.

My purpose in going was three-fold.  I’ve [always] been really impressed with friend and fellow photographer Andipantz‘s ability to go on day-trips and photograph amazing places.  I need to do this more often -said myself.  I rarely shoot for myself anymore, when […]
