Some photos of the Paint Factory this morning with a crane and man cage being used to remove any potentially toxic materials from the roof and front (water overhanging) side of the shed of the paint factory. I spoke with Crosby Martin of McConnell Enterprises, the dismantling and recycling company handling this portion of the project. As you can see from the photos, this shed building section of the paint factory is in the process of falling into the harbor, so remediation is being done to make sure nothing of a toxic nature goes into the water when this building is dismantled. All other segments of the plant from the peaked roof you can see behind the shed forward will be restored and maintained.

About E.J.
Artist, researcher, spiritual traveler of this fascinating orb we inhabit, lover of life and all it has to offer.
Hi everyone out there in GMG land. My name is Ellen “E.J.” Lefavour (a/k/a “Ejay Khan” – the pseudonym I used during my years as a political activist artist). I am a newcomer to Cape Ann, and thrilled to be a new contributor to Good Morning Gloucester. I am a painter and photographer who has lived and worked as an artist for 20 years, since leaving the corporate world in 1990 to pursue my passion. My contributions to GMG will consist of images (either my paintings, photographs, or the occasional video) and a little history about the image, called “Did you Know?” I hope to come up with tidbits of information that people don’t already know, or had forgotten they knew. As I am new here, everything is new and fascinating to me, especially the amazing history, so bear with me if I post something that is common knowledge – I’ll eventually come up with something that’s new to you. Please take a minute to comment on my posts, like them or not, especially if you have corrections or something to add, as that is how I, and all of us, learn. Have a Good Morning Gloucester, and a blessed day.

so happy to see this being restored…great images…
Thanks for the info and pics, I wasn’t sure what was happening when I saw the giant crane yesterday morning, but that shed sure is about to fall in the harbor, too bad it couldn’t have been saved, but at least the rest of the buildings will be (fingers crossed this all happens in time!).
