Discovering the Ruins of the Savage Mill (Maryland, United States)

in #history7 years ago

Built around 1820 by Amos Williams and his three brothers, who borrowed $20k from their friend John Savage to start a textile weaving business. The working textile mill was named after John Savage and functioned from 1822 to 1947. The primary product woven in the 1800’s was canvas. After World War II, the demand for canvas dropped so the mill shut down in 1947. Today, the building has several shops and turned into a vibrant community of shops and artists. The ruins meanwhile triggered most of my interest, as my fascination for deserted buildings continues.

This reminds of the show American Pickers. There is lot of cool historical stuff hidden away for many years. Just to let you know I only see half of the photos. Some of them show a bunch of numbers and jpg after. I think steemit has some issues because all my earnings showed double as well.

thanks for you.

Nice history. War is never friendly. Cool as the building is being use today.
