Peggy C's photos with the keyword: re-purposing

Oneida Mills re-furbishing continues .. The main photo was taken in 2013 -- before permits had been pulled and before this 100+ yr Mill met the rules for a ' Historic building. Being designated an Historic building took until 2015 December .... There are 3 notes across the top .. Left is 2016 April .. Center is 2016 July - showing quite a difference when compared to the original photo. Right is 2016 July - a bit of the inside as it is being developed. We have had so much rain, that there will probably be much interior work .... North Carolina clay would be very difficult to get equipment in for any deliveries .. This is the Update promised .... this is the longest building (with the Tower on the right) on Harden St. © All Rights Reserved

Y'all will get that, too ! -- EXPLORE -- © All Rights Reserved

" - Robert Hughes (1938-2012 ) - the left side -- upper part a rusty form that will eventually be removed - under that photo -- new materials for re-furbishing/re-purposing Oneida Cotton Mills - into apartments - the photos taken are all from a distance, as this is a construction site and can't just go wandering in - doing my best to document the progress - using the talents I have .. even though there are times I question where they have gone - 'determined' suits me in getting these shots as well :)) © All Rights Reserved -- EXPLORE --
