These are the big vats that they used for refining sugar from molasses when this mill was in operation. All that remains of the original structure is the walls and these kettles and other machinery. The roof is now replaces by a huge, steel structure, and walkways have been built inside it so people can get closer to the equipment.
When I first started coming to Sugar Mill Gardens back in January of 2008, the walls had no protection around them and the whole ruin was encircled by a chain link fence to keep people out. I think the decision to reinforce the structure with the steel roof was done to preserve what's left of the walls and the kettles. Parts of the wall came down even during the time between when I started visiting, and when they built the enclosure. It is rather monolithic and ugly, but the good thing is that we can now go inside and see things closer up than before. Future generations stand a better chance of seeing this old mill's ruins now.
I saw this old place, I guess it was someone's shed, for their water toys and tools, I like the way it was trying to hide.
A building with a brick facade, a hint of abandonment with old windows and climbing plants that creates a special atmosphere.

Making bricks is a common activity on the highlands of the Madagascar. The clay used to make the bricks is taken from the rice fields and this extraction contribute to the degradation of the soil of the rice fields. But also it is necessary to burn lot of firewood to fuel the kilns and this contribute enormously to the deforestation of the island.

A pair of SD40E's lead a manifest freight down the mountain into Altoona, PA while passing the rear end of an uphill intermodal at the Brick Yard.
It was designed by David Mach and constructed from 185,000 bricks and 6,000 cubic feet (170 cubic meters) of concrete. Some 34 construction workers took 21 weeks to construct it. It is 23 feet high and 120 feet long. It weighs 15,000 tons and covers an area of 6,458 square feet (600 square meters). Its official name is just “Train” although “Brick Train” is, for obvious reasons, commonly used.
