Tuesday night on the History Channel was a show called Abandoned. A salvage crew goes into abandoned buildings to salvage doors, equipment, etc. The episode was about the Scranton Lace Company in Scranton, PA. The company was in business for 105 years and the world's largest producer of Nottingham Lace. Some of the lace machines found date from the 1890s. Here is a photo blog about the contents of the factory.
