In 2009, they launched their website www.AntiquityEchoes.com, dedicated to archiving the locations they've filmed and generating public awareness about the plight befalling these beautiful and often significant buildings. Rusty and Christina are award winning best-selling authors, with work featured on many media outlets such as 60 Minutes and The New York Times. Prior to its dissolution, Rusty and Christina were heavily involved with the Preserve Greystone movement. They are trustees of PreservationWorks, a national nonprofit which advocated for the preservation and adaptive reuse of our country's last remaining Kirkbride-plan psychiatric institutions.

Massive, cavernous, and sprawling, they once brimmed with life and laughter. Now they stand in eerie silence—a life of solitude they seem ill-suited to. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOccasionally there are places which, through some chain of events, planned or not, come to embody a specific era in American popular culture. The massive vacation resorts of yesteryear are throwbacks to a way of life we seem to have drifted away from over the recent decades. They are relics of a simpler time when driving into the mountains with one's family was the pinnacle of a vacation getaway. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese resorts still exist today, though by-and-large they have been left to rot, thrown away by a society that no longer requires them. They are decaying reminders that, not long ago, simply enjoying one another's company was considered a vacation. Walk the darkened halls and wander the shadowed lobbies of these immense, abandoned resorts, and witness what happens when properties built to entertain thousands are left without a soul to care for, or to care for them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e[authors] Author(s): \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rusty-tagliareni\"\u003eRusty Tagliareni\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/christina-mathews\"\u003eChristina Mathews\u003c\/a\u003e[\/authors]","brand":"Abandoned Union","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33093171609682,"sku":"9781634992770","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/9171\/2594\/products\/9781634992770.jpg?v=1605006666"},{"product_id":"abandoned-mansions","title":"Abandoned Mansions of the Northeast","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt what point does a house become a home?

However, this begs another question: After everyone leaves, and a house no longer has someone to watch over it, does it cease being a home? This question is not so easily answered. Unless, of course, you've personally spent time in an old house, especially one that knew generations of families. If you have, then you know the answer: Once a house becomes a home, it never forgets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book exists to serve as a celebration and memorial to beautiful, abandoned homes from the Northeastern United States.
