In the past, large corporations provided recreation facilities for their employees. This is the gymnasium and basketball court in the GE Club at the abandoned General Electric factory complex in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

The GE Club was built in 1927. The gym was on the top floor of the building, and the basement housed a bowling alley.

I made this photograph during a tour for local photographers organized by the developers who hope to transform the old factory into a residential and retail complex to be called Electric Works. We were allowed to photograph the outsides and interiors of several of the buildings on the west side of the complex.

Purchase Prints
by Christopher Crawford

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.

Credit card payment is handled through Paypal. You do not have to have a Paypal account. When you checkout, you will be taken to Paypal's site. If you have a Paypal account, sign in and approve the payment.

If you do not have a Paypal account, and do not want to sign up for one, there is a link on the Paypal page that says "Don't have a Paypal Account?" Click it to pay without signing up. It will accept your credit card like a normal credit card payment.

Prints usually ship within 7 days. This allows time for me to make your print, and if you have ordered a framed print, to frame and mat it.

Thank you for supporting my work.
