Building Blocks

Along the Black River, Watertown, NY

Along the Black River, there are caves that I used to explore with friends. I was exploring one of the caves when I took this picture.

All the buildings were built to face away from Black River.

Though Watertown was built around the river, the river was never a visual focal point.

I don't know why that was...

Partners in silence, these were the foundation of the city - factories and the river that powered them.
