Vacant Brookfield Properties That Give Me the Creeps

When someone starts construction on a commercial or residential building, they do so with hope in mind. They are constructing their dreams in one way or another. When those dreams come apart, what's left is an everyday physical reminder of what went wrong.

For one reason or another, things didn't workout at these places in Brookfield, CT.

Vacant Brookfield Properties Give Me the Creeps

Brookfield Connecticut is a beautiful New England town with picturesque landscapes and architecture. It does have one section of road that is about a mile long, that time has forgotten. When the highway got extended, the life started to drain from this portion of Federal Road and COVID-19 put the finishing touches on any business that was hanging on for dear life. There are supposed to be people in these places, that's why they were made. The absence of humanity in these spaces makes them tragic and chilling.

Thank you for checking this out and please know although I wrote some funny things to associate with these photos, I don't think there is anything funny about abandoned buildings.

I've worked in Brookfield for twenty years and I drive past these everyday. I have pride in this community and I know what these empty spaces represent.

I also know that there is far more growth in Brookfield than there is loss and that's a testament to the hardworking folks that live and work here.
