At the Lonaconing Silk Mill

In early October I spent an afternoon photographing at the Lonaconing Silk Mill in Lonaconing, Maryland. The mill was originally built in 1905 and functioned as a silk mill for the Klotz Throwing Company & General Textile Mills Company until 1957 when the mill was closed. Since then the mill has stood empty – complete with machinery, spools and personal items that were left behind when the mill closed in 1957.

Today the current owner opens the mill up for photographers to come in and photograph for an afternoon. I thought I’d share some of my photos from my visit to the mill with you today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ll share the rest of my photos from my visit to the Lonaconing Silk Mill in another post soon.
