This is one of the few intact silk mills left in this area. Most have been demolished or turned into offices or apartments. The complex is huge and I hope to get inside much more of it than I did on this trip. Rumors that it will become condos are already circulating...

The expansion of the railroads in the late 1800s provided new access to the remote Pocono Mountains. Originally built in 1901 as a 20 room inn, the inn was expanded in 1923 to a majestic 4 story hotel. Other great inns soon followed, but Buck Hill remained one of the largest of the Pocono inns ever built. With changes in tourism, the inn was forced to close down in 1991. Today, the empty inn looms over the surrounding community, a relic to another time.

Built in 1926, the Beury Building is an amazing example of Late Gothic Revival and Art Deco architecture. The building, designed by architect William L. Lee, was originally the National Bank of North Philadelphia. Covered with graffiti and little more than a garbage strewn shell on the inside, there is little to hint at the buildings noble history. Only the several vaults still found in the lower level hint that this was once a center of major commerce. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 5/20/1985 and the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places on 11/27/1985.
