John, to me scenes like this are a bit depressing. There was a successful business for so many years. The people who worked there supported themselves and families. Then, it's gone. That is a bit sad.
Nice that you could photograph them while they still exist. Good work.

When in college, I spent a summer working in an acoustic tile and insulation wool factory in Alexandria, Indiana--National Gypsum Corp. A week or two ago, I went back and photographed the outside of some of the buildings.
They have piqued my interest, and I now want to get permission to go inside the long-abandoned buildings to photograph more. Time will tell. I still begin to itch when i think about that summer.
Here are three of my photos of the exterior.
