Abandoned Carbide Mill XI

Description

I went on a trek in the woods to find this place. Was worth it. From inside the mill.

Some History to it:
By 1904, Thomas "Carbide" Willson had purchased 460 acres at Meech Lake. There he built his summer residence, but it is the ruins of the dam, generating station and acid condensation tower that you see today. The super-phosphate fertilizer plant was the first of its kind in the world. In fact, Patrick Farrell had already built a dam here at the start of Meech Creek for his sawmill.

Today, the electrical generating plant stands, its windows and roof victim to time and vandalism. The large cylindrical tube which funnelled water into the station is all but gone: you can see where it once lay. On the opposite side of Meech Creek, only the base of the acid condensation tower is left: the rest was destroyed by fire.

More to come!
