Lonely Staircases

While wandering Fairmount Park, I came across the small park that borders Brewery Hill Road. Being in an adventurous mood, I decided to meander into the forest on what I believe was an old trail (now almost completely covered in vegetation). After walking aimlessly for quite some time, finding remnants of BMX jumps and what looked like the habitat of a homeless man, I decided to maneuver my way back to the open park. Taking a different direction, I came across these old staircases, covered almost completely in moss and ivy. Somewhat creeped out by the eeriness of staircases that lead absolutely nowhere, this discovery makes me wonder what used to sit at this site.

  1. Alyssa, these are great, I encourage you to send these to the Fairmount Park Conservancy, along with the Pabst beer can photo.

    I don't know where these stairways are.
