Dyottville Tour

[RedGinger]

Me too, Surf. I would love to see it. Maybe they'll let you join in or help in some way, Steve. We have some cobblestone streets here, and I always wonder what is beneath them. I suppose permission was denied Mooney when he wanted to open that door?

Yeah take a lot of pix. My puce eagle was made there in the 2nd half of the 19th century it would be cool to get a look at whats left of the place before it becomes blacktop

Impressive,stunning,breath taking,I was in shear awe. There is so much glass lying about it is just amazing if you love the old glass like I do.Doug Mooney was very friendly and approachable.Before I forget, I spoke to the lead historian of the project Ingrid Wuebber, I showed her a lot of my Dyott collection which I also made available to anyone that hung around after the formal gathering was over.She is very approachable and said to me if you want to show up next week to visit again I was more then welcome too.This goes for anyone for after Friday next week it is all filled in.You can see the workers sitting on their heavy machinery just waiting to back fill this property as most of them have been unemployed for a great deal of time and they could care less about the glass works.I dont have time right now to get into a whole lot of detail but this I know Dyott made every imaginable color.Clear,light aqua, dark aqua ,all shades of greens,all shades of blue, violet,amber,pink yellow and yes Rick I saw puce sticking out of the ground!!Rick you would be a star if you could bring your puce eagle flask, I could meet you next week pick a day.Sorry no weekends and the place shuts down at 3:30 sharp.

Onto the factory,You see the big field on the other side of this fence where the footings and foundation would project outward to if the Archaeologists had continued to dig. Out there 5 feet away is the original 1770 glass works that was the first one at this particular complex and 75 percent of the remaining Dyott and later Benners works. The property is private and the highway is not going to interfere with it. Now there is a permission to get to dig!!!The Archaeologists I spoke to said no one has really even pursued the owner of that property which houses more of the Dyott factory then this little piece exposed.
