Inter-Royal ( Plainfield ) 11-11-12

I first photographed this mill in June, 2000, shooting black and white film with free access. The mill was built in the early 1900s as a cotton mill, and later manufactured other items. In April, 2005, the complex was destroyed by fire and access is very limited so that I was able to get few pictures. It has become a Superfund nightmare, and will remain as such for the indefinite future. A sad reminder of the demise of the once great textile Industry in eastern Connecticut.
