William Culpepper's Grafik Archistruct uses Google Street View to discover, identify, and bring awareness to urban decay occurring in rural towns across America. Within each identified town, case study buildings are carefully selected based on their notable history and location, in contrast to their current state of abandonment.

Built in 1937, the Westinghouse Atom Smasher in Forest Hills, PA (the large, bulb-shaped building on the right) paved the way for researching nonmilitary uses for nuclear energy. It was mothballed in 1958, and when I photographed it in 2013 there was hope to preserve the structure as part of a school. Two years later, however, it was torn down. While the adjoining buildings weren't particularly noteworthy, the atom smasher itself was certainly a significant landmark in the history of scientific research.

Edit: while the buildings are gone apparently the atom smasher is still there on its side, hopefully to be reused for something (??) when the property is redeveloped.
