Morning Drive, and a Turn of the Century Mill

The view on my way to work leaving the city.
I always think of the city growing out of the trees.

I went to take a look at the old Firestone mill in Gastonia.

This is a typical floor control valve off of the standpipe system

Large fire doors separate fire areas in typical mill fashon


Expansive floor space, I'd like a studio like this.
with some remodeling

A convoluted system design, one fire area and five flow switches?

Perspective

Stair tower

Roof Manifold

Sprinkler & Me

and finally, a really old set of controls...
