Abandoned Time Clock Building, Indiana Army Ammunition Plant, Charlestown, Indiana

Located on the grounds of the old abandoned Indiana Army Ammunition Plant (INAAP), this is the time clock building for the whole plant.  While much of the production side has been condemned, this building has been largely left alone.  The following photos have been taken over the span of a few years, and show that neglect is taking its toll regardless.

As the title implies, this building housed the time clocks and punch cards for the plant.  Thousands of plant workers would go through these doors, clock in, and then go to work.  At the end of the day, the ritual was completed again, only in reverse.

Workers were funneled through the building, were the would pick up their card, and punch it.

Same racks, now scattered on the floor.

Punching in properly was serious business, as this sign indicates.

The time clocks are now gone.  However, turning them off was obviously a big no-no.

Large parts of the plant were gender segregated, as this door indicates.  Likewise, smoking at a gunpowder plant was also a big issue.

Abandoned, empty lockers.

Same lockers, now pushed over.  People feel the need to vandalize buildings.  I'm not sure why.

In the background is a now demolished powerhouse.  There were two, and both were leveled a few years ago.

Birds call the building home.

Interesting soap dispenser, yes?
