American Woolen Company At The Riverside Mill


Too lazy to write my own words, so I stole someone else's.
"In 1989 the mill site was converted to a 450,000 sq ft small business complex that housed paint stores, jewelry stores, a theater, storage, auto shop and artists lofts. However, the complex burned down in 1989. In 1990 the site was completely leveled because the site was found to contain a significant amount of hazardous materials and was deemed a brownfield site. However, only one of the buildings from the original mill complex remains, and is currently boarded up." (http://www.brown.edu/Courses/HA0191/vi/riverside.html)
































And a quick video showing how easily my foot could go through the floor at any time.
