Hershey's Abandoned Chocolate Factory Is Now In Ruins

Matthew ChristopherThe chocolate factory that gave America its first Hershey's kiss is now in ruins.

Hershey Co. began demolishing the 110-year-old factory two years ago in a move that devastated many longtime residents of the town of Hershey, Pa., where the plant was located.

Just before it was destroyed, photographer Matthew Christopher, whose father worked for Hershey, went inside the factory. He shared what he found with Business Insider.
