Historic Firestone Mill in North Carolina

Built about 1901 this old textile mill has been shuttered for many years. It is now slowly falling into ruins. It was the site of a famous strike in 1929. 
City officials are hoping to preserve it but no takers so far.
Since I was unable to gain entry for some interior shots, I did get a few of some of the architecture.
Gate 2 closed.


Office front door .


Dormer window on roof.

 
Large blue green glass windows.


The mill closed for good in 1992.

Thanks for reading this week. Stop in again next week.
