JUNKYARD EXPLORER - Harpersfield Relics, Part One
THE ABANDONED GENEVA FILTRATION PLANT, Harpersfield Township, Ohio
Off of Ohio Route 534
This forgotten architectural relic is in Harpersfield Township, behind the covered bridge park. Though deserted many years ago, it remains intact. One needs only to peer through the windows to imagine how busy this place must have been, fifty years ago. It's purpose was noble - to purify life-giving water.
Not only is the structure complete, but the pumps and mechanical hardware also retain their integrity. Nature has shrouded the plant in a cloak of green. Yet it stands as a testament to past generations. A bit of forgotten Ohio, right in our midst...
