A recent local news article on historic sites suffering from the combination of Hurricane Sandy and a lack of restoration funding alerted me to the McAlpin Mansion property in nearby Harding Township, NJ. Despite having lived nearby for 30 years, I had never been aware of it. Of course an aging, largely white-colored building is just what someone shooting large format B&W looks for! The following are all negative scans from HP5+, developed in PMK.

The mansion, exterior view:

Exterior window & conservatory, detail:

And two views of the Conservatory interior. The first is from a 4x5 negative, and contains a bunch of reflection artifacts, since I had to shoot at an angle through a plexiglass door.

And a straight-on view of the Conservatory interior. This is a medium format (I know, but bear with me...) shot, where I could hand-hold with the lens shade right up against the door, eliminating reflections:

As always, comments and critiques welcome.

Exemplified by img104. Well done Peter.

Love this.

My latest in the continuing documentation. Demolition continues on the mill, with about 1/3 of the roof ripped off. Also testing some DOF things.
