Piggary and Penstocks 📷Leica M4 🎞️TriX 🔭35/2.5 Color Skopar - Adaptive Multi Use was always a thing in Batsto Village - More in ALT #believeinfilm #filmismorefun #WhartonSF #bogiron
A monochrome film photograph of the piggery, the original water tower, and the carriage house at Batsto Village in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. I love the way this water tower building changes materials 2/3 of the way up when they added the extra height. The ironstone material used for the 1820s-era buildings must have run out by the 1850s, so red brick it was! Starting in the 1760s, and for about 90 years thereafter, Batsto was home to a sizable bog iron furnace starting in the 1760s. They made all sorts of home and industrial goods, even cannon and shot for the continental army during the American Revolution and War of 1812. Later, there was a glass works that made many of the streetlight globes for cities like Philadelphia and Camden.

Sawmills were always useful in this area as timber was the most common natural resource in the pine barrens.

Workers Homes, Batsto Village 📷Leica M4 🎞️Gold 200 🔭35/2.5 Color Skopar - Way More in ALT. #believeinfilm #filmismorefun #WhartonSF #bogiron
A color film photograph of a workers home at Batsto Village in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Starting in the 1760s, and for about 100 years thereafter, Batsto was home to a sizable bog iron furnace. They made all sorts of home and industrial goods, ship's fittings, even cannon and shot for the continental army during the American Revolution and War of 1812. 800 tons of iron per year in its peak production. These houses were for the skilled workers needed to run the iron business. It was a tidy, prosperous, and mostly self-contained little community with a general store (that took company scrip) and a post office. About one half the village burned in a fire in 1874, but these remaining houses were occupied by families until the 1950s. The mansion and surrounding industrial village are one of the central attractions of the 124,000 acre Wharton State Forrest.

Millstone, Batsto Village 📷Leica M4 🎞️Gold 200 🔭35/2.5 Color Skopar - More in ALT. #believeinfilm #filmismorefun #WhartonSF #bogiron
A color film photograph of a (discarded?) millstone at Batsto Village in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Starting in the 1760s, and for about 100 years thereafter, Batsto was home to a sizable bog iron furnace. At its peak, the furnace supported an entire "company" village of factory housing for the workers. A grist mill was built here (1828) for income for the owners and food for the workers who were paid in company scrip.

Ironmasters Mansion, Batsto Village 📷Leica M4 🎞️Gold 200 🔭35/2.5 Color Skopar & 90/2.8 APO Skopar - Way More in ALT. #believeinfilm #filmismorefun #WhartonSF #bogiron
A color film photograph of the "Ironmasters Mansion" at Batsto Village in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Starting in the 1760s, and for about 100 years thereafter, Batsto was home to a sizable bog iron furnace. They made all sorts of home and industrial goods, ship's fittings, even cannon and shot for the continental army during the American Revolution and War of 1812. A modest colonial home stood here shortly after the furnace was built, and was gradually expanded. Philadelphia Quaker businessman Joseph Wharton added a lot of what you see here in 1870 - well after the furnace was torn down. The tower structure was not merely decorative - a 1200 gallon water tank with fire suppression gear is found in here and the top of the tower was used as a fire lookout well into the 20th century. The tallest buildings in both Atlantic City and Philadelphia can be seen on a clear day. The mansion and surrounding industrial village are one of the central attractions of the 124,000 acre Wharton State Forrest.
