[post_page_title]Domino Sugar Factory: Brooklyn, New York[/post_page_title]
The Domino Sugar Factory in Brooklyn has been abandoned since 2004 and to be completely honest, it was a long time coming. Not because we don’t love (what American doesn’t love sugar?). It’s because the factory fell victim to a numver of unfortunate circumstances during it’s 148 year operation. In 1917, their was an explosion in the plant that killed several workers and a crowd the size of 15,000 gathered to see the place partially burn down. In 2000, 250 workers protested for a consecutive 20 months until poor working conditions were addressed. The sugar factory’s reputation eventually caught up to it and now it’s an abandoned factory, just like the rest of them.
