This is a heavily effected picture of Loray Mill in Gastonia, NC. At one time, the mill was the largest textile producer in the world. It was also the site of a major milestone is U.S. labor history---the 1929 Loray Mill Strike. The building has deteriorated over the years after production ceased. It's architecture is beautiful as well as functional. Currently, there are plans to turn this historic building into high-end condos.
