Not much stands anymore from the 1800s, though these Brick walls from an old textile mill during the Civil War still stands. I got to go behind the chainlink fencing protecting the mill with a tour guide and walked through the rooms that once were used for the war effort about in the 1800s.

These photos are my content for #architecturalphotography

There were many plants growing out of the walls of the old structure. And the guide said they would need to be removed as they break up the remaining mortar and brick causing the building to decay.

A larger plant or small tree from the looks of the bark, its interesting to see its roots grow horizontal through the brickwork.

At one point there were over four stories to this building, though during the Civil War the floors were burned out and all that remains is the brickwork.

We had to be careful not to touch or lean on the walls are they are considered unstable. It was also important not to get too close to the walls in case something falls off.

There was once a waterwheel along the river that powered operations inside the building though its long gone. Though a large piece of stone remains where the machinery once stood on top of this large stone.

The writing on the wall dates back to the Civil War, and may be some of the first graffiti made in buildings and not caves.

Trees stood all around and gave the building a feeling as if it was going to be consumed by the forest after awhile.

The large machinery stone can be seen to the left, it has been estimated to weigh over four tons. Which is about twice or three times the weight of your average truck. I think how they got it there, from what the guide was saying they used Ox's to move around heavy things and maybe this stone too.
