Photo of The Month – Oct 2010

Major Improvements

Picture contributor: Society Archives

Workers laying foundation for mill addition
Major Improvements

In 1974, things were humming along nicely at Cone Mills. The decision had been made to build a new weaving plant north of town, and to renovate the old mill. Here, workers are erecting compartments to house components of an air conditioning system. Concurrently, the old building’s windows are being bricked up to contain the cooler air. Except for the finishing and shipping plant, shown at rear center, and the filtering plant, partially visible at upper fight, all you see in this photo has been demolished.

The same scene below in January 2009.

A photo taken decades later. The foreground buildings have vanished, leaving only empty ground and a narrow paved access road. A quarter-mile in the distance is the now unused building that once was used as the packing and shipping department of mill.
