Lanaconing Mill

​

This is a photographic

contemplation of the

end of a way of life in a

western Maryland mill town.

​

The mill was closed in July 1957.

The mill mamagement simply

shut down the machinery

leaving behind everything as

it stood the moment they

closed and locked the doors.

​

  Even as the building continues

   to fall into disrepair with leaking

roofs and broken windows,it remains an silent iconic legacy of a bygone era of American industry.
