I had chased this 2 times before without success. The coordinates I had were located across the street which dead ends at the highway. I found it via Google Maps overhead.

While I was there taking pictures the owner was on the site and came walking toward me. At first the encounter had a bit of tension when I explained to him I was simply an amateur photographer and history buff and was there to take pictures because it was a National Historic Landmark. He was concerned I was from some group that was going to report to some commission about the site. He bought the site and building a decade ago and is slowly trying to restore it. We spoke the plant for about 30 minutes and he invited me back on another day to take a tour of the inside.
