KRFoto at the old cement plant - a photo on Flickriver

KRFoto at the old cement plant

In 1903 the Toledo Portland Cement Company poured walls in Manchester, Michigan (my home town) for what was touted to be one of the largest and most up-to-date cement plants in the country. It was situated in the southern part of the village a short distance from the Lake Shore Railway line.

The venture got a lot of fanfare, as the promoters pointed out the existence of great deposits of marl and banks of clay in the village. The building was never erected beyond the completion of substantial and thick walls of concrete, which now stand like the remains of some ancient Roman ruins.

Schoolmates and I would occasionally play amongst these walls when I was a youngster, and my last visit as an adult was way back in 1974. I returned here on March 13, 2012 on a gorgeous late-winter day with my flickr contact KRFoto for some updated photos.
