The day I visited the factory, it was in the process of being rehabbed into housing. The general contractor came over to me, asking what I was doing and told him I was here purely as an amateur photographer and historian. He gave me carte blanche to do all the exploring I wanted, even to enter the building. This is a particularly hard building to capture because of the expansiveness of it and the inability to capture from afar.
