While inside the main building, I was able to get a good look at the door and took a closer shot of the bolt. It just seemed to be very strong and sturdy.
Looking down the hallway, we spotted this. My thought is that the bricked up section on the screen's left side was a cargo elevator at one time. The steel door goes outside to a loading dock.
In the entrance hallway of the mill, we found this antique scale on display. I'm thinking of it being perhaps around the 1920's, but not positive. .
Probably one of my favorite parts of a textile mill are the smokestacks. They are almost a signature piece to the building and the first thing I go looking for to photograph. The one at Caraleigh is a very lovely stack and is in excellent condition. The detail at the top gives it a touch of personality rather than just a squared off top.
While photographing the stack's base, we found this iron door. I wonder if this was a way to get into the stack to clean out the interior of it, or simply get inside of it for maintenance?
