Jim Baldwin's visit to Gennett Factory site

Gennett 2 I parked and descended a long stairway to the path along the river leading tothe ruins. After crossing a temporary bridge this was my first view of the site.

Gennett 3 I turned to the left to capture this retaining wall. The river is below the trees. This area was where the recording studio once stood.

Gennett 4 The smoke stack left standing from the power plant.

Gennett 5 I turn to the left to capture the one building left standing. All of the remaining buildings were razed some time ago. There are only a couple of small structures left besides this. The whole area has been cleaned up, plenty of parking provided and sidewalks and paving done. A later museum is planned as you can read about on the Starr-Gennett website. See http://www.starrgennett.org/

Gennett 6 The backside of the piano factory. The building is gutted. This is an interesting photo as we don't often see buildings in this state of razing.

Gennett 7 A view of the south end and a portion of the boiler house still standing (It looked to be too difficult to demolish as the walls were two feet thick)

Gennett 9 I stood at the front door for this interesting view.

Gennett 10 I turned to the left.

Gennett 11 I crossed the street to view the front.

Gennett01 The display case of the Indiana welcoming center just inside the state line as you enter Richmond. A nice lady there knew exactly what I wanted to see of Gennett. She gave me directions and a map of the Whitewater Gorge area.

Wayne Co. Musem 1 The last two cases. See those bricks. There are some down in the gorge, but you are not supposed to remove them.

Wayne Co. Musem 2 The first record display on your left. Sorry for not greater detail but was limited on time and by the cheap camera.

Wayne Co. Musem 3 A mockup of the original recording studio. The studio was photographed in many publicity releases. The Bix shot with the Wolverines is famous.

Wayne Co. Musem 4 The Luby family was an important local group.

Wayne Co. Musem 5 Sorry, don't recall who's instrument that was.

Wayne Co. Musem 6 Three more display cases.

Wayne Co. Musem 7 Now I start down the wall to the exit.

Wayne Co. Musem 8 If anyone can go back there and properly photograph all the itms in detail, please let the website manager know.

Wayne Co. Musem 9 Shots of the field recording van.
