Yesterday, we posted a sign about the Cone Brothers. Today, we post this little hut that must have been some sort of guard house on the property of Cone Mills. It is located on Yanceyville Street, just up the hill from Revolution Mill. We will feature the repurposed Revolution Mill Studios in a future post as it is a spectacular venue featuring everything from offices to on site housing and recreation. However, we also like to document these little snippets of history before they get razed to the ground. Also, we were in search of signage, public displays of the Cone Mills sign, as well as signs with "Greensboro, NC."
If you know about this little hut, please post a comment and share your memories.
Photo to hold your attention today...trying to decide what the underneath layer of wood(?) or stone (?)...what keeps it from rot?
Interesting. June

You mean this is going to be razed? They can turn it into a little food stall instead…

Lovely colours, and well-composed too.
Your photos make me think I should've hung around in Greensboro some more -- sadly I just flew in and out. I headed over to Winston-Salem to hang out with some friends there :)
Do you shoot on some high-contrast film, or are these digital photos?
