Savage Mill is a former cotton mill in Maryland, between Columbia and Washington, DC, which has been in existence in various forms since 1822. After being closed in 1947, it was placed on the list National Historic Places in 1974. The main building was restored in 1985 and turned into a series of shops and small restaurants, but there's an interesting little outbuilding that was left to rot in place.
The view from across the Little Patuxent River. I couldn't get into the building proper, but I did manage to get some closer shots.
Keep Out.
Shots from above and behind the building, taken from a patio cafe next to the main building.
Fallen in roof
Mysterious pipe that once led to the main building.
There's also a short section of narrow gauge track that used to service the mill left in place. Everything behind this shot is now suburbs, so it's impossible to see where it used to lead.
Well I wouldn't trust a boxcar left on that track nowadays...
End of the line.
Odd winch at the end of the tracks, presumably to position freight cars without using a yard engine.
And as a bonus, a not-quite abandoned and unique iron truss bridge that was moved near the mill and re-purposed as a foot bridge.
