Only in Beaufort is a factory built in the early 20th century -- and for decades now beyond repair or use -- still celebrated.
In fact, that factory is now on the National Historic Register, despite the fact that no one can even agree what to call it.
In its early days, it was called the Seacoast Packing Company building.
For the last fifty or so years, it's been known as the "Old Pickle Factory," an appropriate name since it's located at 100 Dill Drive.
The history of the building -- and its long line of opportunities missed-- is fascinating.
Built as a meat-packing plant in 1921, it failed before it started and sat vacant for seven years.
It served as a storage facility for groceries, a tomato-canning plant and, of course, a pickle-packing facility.
At one point, it also stored lumber for the Kinghorn Brothers Company.
By 1980 it was all but abandoned, a solidly-built concrete warehouse. It remains one of the only industrial buildings within the city limits.
The fire department has used it for practice on controlled burns.
Aspiring artists have added graffiti to its decaying walls.
Its location along the old Charleston and Western Carolina Railroad line was intentional, and it remains a highly-visible destination along the Spanish Moss Trail.
I wasn't sure where to drop the map pin so google correct directions.
