National City Illinois, November 26, 2015
Once again, I was coming back from Illinois on Thanksgiving and I made a spur of the moment decision to stop and take some photo's of the Armour Meat Packing Plant. I had been here the previous Thanksgiving:origin()/pre15/0e45/th/pre/i/2014/334/c/2/armour_meat_packing_plant_1_by_rontheturtleman-d87x2lg.jpg)
but this year I got some shots of the east side of the smokestacks.
Built in 1903, the factory with it's Steam Age technology was shut down in 1959. Between vandals, thieves, nature and the weather over the past 54+ years, much of the complex has crumbled to the ground, but it is also surprising that any of it remains. Now that highway 70 goes through the area, property values are going up. I wonder how long before the rest is torn down and the land redeveloped.
