if you could sell memories...(HSS)
A slide of part of the abandoned W.T. Rawleigh's plant in downtown Freeport,IL. Rawleigh's started out as a door to door business selling mostly medicinal products, but later evolved into a giant corporation selling almost everything from spices to cleaners as well as home remedies. As times changed, their business started to fade, and by the '80s this plant only employed about 200 employees(it closed in the late '80s). Many attempts have been made to reuse this architecturally significant plant, but so far none have stuck,though the newer office tower has limited use. Rawleigh's survives as a online business....
Happy sliders Sunday all!
