My step father said he worked there way back then it's cool the way they turned it into a home there's another small plant in the same area I think on Hickory that is red brick the last time I saw it they were building aluminum windows there I think

When we were kids in the 80s, my friends and I used to sit on the front porch of that place. I think they were doing something with glass or windows at the time. A man named Dave lived in the place.

Some people said they saw Dave walking around with a gun inside the place. When we asked Dave, he said he was shooting rats.
