The story of Cairo, Illinois, is one of constant struggle, beginning with repeated attempts to establish the town. Those efforts eventually paid off: Cairo grew from just a handful of settlers into a flourishing port city and a crossroads of Midwestern commerce.

But the town’s success was overshadowed by a combination of hardships—structural vulnerabilities and devastating floods, decades of racial tension and discrimination, and a steady decline in population driven by ruin and racism. While Cairo recovered from the flooding, the lasting wounds of violence and inequality left residents divided. The rise of interstate highways and modern infrastructure only deepened the isolation, bypassing Cairo and cutting it off from the economic lifelines it once depended on.

Today, collapsing houses mark a community struggling to survive. Yet these same struggles have become the foundation of Cairo’s identity, shaping the resilience and the voice of a town too often forgotten.

Read more 👉🏼 https://t.co/eeJ7Gi3PYS

On August 15, 1945, as Bostonians celebrated the end of World War II, a well-dressed woman asked a teenage boy to watch her newborn baby. She promised to return after performing an errand but never did.

"LITTLE MISTER VICTORY" is the true story of a lifelong quest, by the baby's daughter, to find the woman who abandoned her father. Using cutting-edge DNA analysis and good old-fashioned burrowing into newspaper archives, ecclesiastical records, and government documents, she was found, along with a surprise.
Abandoning her newborn baby was not the most shocking act of her life.

An emboldened America consolidates its hold on the Mississippi Territory. Like the ancient Romans, the Americans understand that roads are key to their continental ambitions. Enter Captain Daniel E. Burch, soldier, engineer, and frontiersman.

During the summer of 1824, Captain Burch constructed a road over 200 miles from Pensacola to Fort Mitchell through a tangled wilderness and Creek Territory.
Undaunted, he completed, on time and budget, what would ultimately be known as the Three Notch Road. His accomplishment opened a frontier we call the Wiregrass.

Yet, today’s Wiregrass is slowly emptying and aging, afflicted with the same population decline plaguing the rest of the U.S. Abandoned structures are commonplace in this verdant land which was once battled over by indigenous nations and empires.

Retrace Burch’s 1824 odyssey along today’s Three Notch Road, a contemporary photographic journey as seen through history’s lens.

🔔 #Recommended in our Abandoned Union book series: "ABANDONED EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA: PURE DECAY OF THE PEACE GARDEN STATE" by Katherine R. Bingham at Pure Abandon Photography is now back in stock.

Read more 👉🏼 https://t.co/xW4DaSg1vj

When we see abandoned buildings, it’s our natural instinct to wonder why they have been left behind to the intense elements of North Dakota.

Come along with author Katherine Rose Bingham down a dirt road to see the workmanship of the past. Walk into a room and discover layers of wallpaper, the years peeling away one at a time. Drive by an old barn and look inside to see a treasured old vehicle left covered in dust.

Observe a steeple towering over the trees, the cooing of pigeons the only noise coming from the choir loft. Katherine Rose Bingham moved to a North Dakota farm in 2014. The farm had been in her husband’s family since 1938. She has always believed she was born in the wrong era, and these old pieces of history hold a fascination and wonderment for her.

Katherine finds joy in capturing a town that was once a booming oil field, seeing the hills divided where a train once trudged, and trying to preserve what once was in these vastly changing times.

High in the Catskills, the crumbling remains of a busy spa resort fade into the mountainside. On an island in the middle of the Hudson River, the facade of a castle that exploded catches the eye of commuter rail passengers. Nestled in a protected valley, a residential home for disabled children is collapsing under a blanket of fallen leaves and snow. From the sleepy mountain regions to the bustling urban centers, New York State is full of fascinating abandoned places if you know where to look. These locations serve as physical reminders of the many booms and busts throughout the state’s intriguing history.

Donald Pimental captures the beauty in decay in his series of photographs of the Empire State’s forgotten sites. His photos reveal not just architectural remnants but also the emotional weight these overlooked spaces carry.

In Brooklyn’s Sunset Park, the enclave reflects a blend of old and new, where traditional businesses coexist with modern social clubs and communal markets. Defined by its massive Fuzhounese community and a distinct industrial-to-residential feel, it is a neighborhood in constant motion.

Flushing, Queens, boasts a dynamic Chinatown known for bustling streets filled with a wide array of eateries and shops. Here, a mix of Mandarin, Korean, and other languages reflects the area's incredible diversity. Together, these enclaves offer a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Chinese culture in New York City, from traditional roots to contemporary experiences.

Most people go to Chinatown to eat. I go to look, to listen, and understand. I discovered that these Chinatowns are not just places on a map but living, breathing communities—ones that reveal the complexity of belonging, the resilience of immigrants, and the ways in which culture transforms a city.

The story of the rancho includes many significant people who resided on the land, as well as important structures. These individuals influenced the development and use of the land.

This book provides an overview of the phases California land policies underwent from the time of Native Americans through the American period. It touches on the Spanish Empire, the romance of the California missions, the gigantic ranchos, the American conquest, honest and not-so-honest lawyers, men and women of courage and foresigt, and the settlement of large areas of the West.

It also addresses the destruction of entire Indigenous ways of life due to disease and social disruption. The evil of slavery touched the ranchos, as did the heroism that helped bring it to an end. The Supreme Court played a role in determining ownership of the land.

The authors determined that contemporary painters, photographers, sculptors, printmakers, illustrators, and cartoonists are often turned away by publishers who must limit art stories. They may have minimal budgets for reproducing color art, a lack of art writers and editors, lack of space, or possibly a preference for hard-news features. So herein you will discover many known and unknown artists working in your own cities and towns. You may be pleasantly surprised by their extraordinary images in myriad, exciting styles.

They are creating legacies of visual arts that contribute significantly to the American culture. There are many more New Jersey artists awaiting representation in a second book. Meanwhile, everyone from toddlers to sophisticated art lovers can enjoy seeing this sequel to New Jersey Artists Through Time, published in 2015. Of course, there will always be art and its importance for inspiring a love of both traditional and new concepts, especially for future generations of creative thinkers.

For over seventy years, the Pillsbury Flour Mill was the beating heart of Springfield, Illinois. At its peak, this 18-acre powerhouse employed 1,500 workers and pioneered the convenience foods that defined mid-century America. But when the gates closed for good in 2001, a proud history gave way to decades of silence, decay, salvage, and theft.

Once a toxic landscape looming darkly over the community, the abandoned mill was destined for the wrecking ball—until 2023, when its jaw-dropping historic and artistic potential was finally uncovered.
Through a stunning collection of photographs captured in 2023 and 2024, this book takes you past the "No Trespassing" signs. It explores the fascinating intersection of residual history, post-abandonment graffiti, and technological extinction. Far more than a look at what used to be, these pages document what the empty space became: a masterclass in beautiful decay and a remarkable testament to the resilience of industrial art.

⛪️✟ 📚Available now: "THE CHURCH OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: THE 140TH YEAR OF ITS FOUNDING" by Anthony M. Sammarco follows the rich and evolving history of the Church of the Holy Spirit.

Read more 👉🏼 https://t.co/Jt4Yr0H1HJ

Founded as a heartfelt memorial by Annie Lawrence Rotch in honour of her father, Benjamin Smith Rotch, the Church of the Holy Spirit stands as a remarkable testament to faith, vision, and enduring community spirit. Designed by the acclaimed architect Arthur Rotch of Rotch and Tilden, and enriched by exquisite family gifts—including its silver, furnishings, and organ—this striking church first opened its doors on Whitsunday 1886, set beautifully within the surrounding countryside.

Over more than a century, the church has evolved alongside the vibrant communities of Mattapan and Milton. From lively pageants and productions to a host of social gatherings, it has long been at the heart of local life. In the years following World War II, as new communities from the Caribbean and West Indies made their home in the area, the church embraced this cultural transformation, growing into a thriving, diverse parish.

By the late 20th century, the Church of the Holy Spirit had become a dynamic meeting place of traditions and cultures, where shared meals, celebrations, and faith brought people together. Today, more than 140 years after its consecration, it remains far more than a place of worship—it is a sanctuary of reflection, a centre of community, and a living tribute to the generations who have shaped its remarkable story.
