Chattanooga: Inside the Historic Abandoned Wheland Foundry
In this video, Teena and I received a rare opportunity to go inside the vast, abandoned Wheland iron foundry that borders Interstate 24 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Slated for demolition soon, to make way for a new stadium complex, this may be the last chance for anyone to capture the historic foundry in detail before it's gone.
