And now a visit to the Stephen Sanford and Sons carpet mills in Amsterdam, New York.

 

The Sanford Mills company, better known as Bigelow-Sanford, was once one of the largest carpet makers in the country. Here's a 1924 linen postcard showing an aerial view of the massive mill complex.

 

The company moved operations south in the 1950s and the Connecticut Leather Company (aka Coleco) used the buildings for packaging and shipping starting in the 1960s. Coleco is long gone and now there are a number of smaller businesses in the buildings.

Normally I wouldn't post such a blurry picture, but this is too great not to share!

 

My fiancé and I have always enjoyed making - or attempting to make, which is key here - elaborate gingerbread houses. One year we made boathouses on stilts in a lake, for example.

 

Here you can see our attempt at making a mill. The decorating was going along just fine, but the baking had taken up so much time that we couldn't finish. Baking had proven to be the most difficult: gingerbread is really thick and heavy, plus it warps in the oven, so making useable "walls" was tricky. Some pieces got a little burnt.

 

Well, my fiancé's dad (a notorious practical jokester) thought this was quite funny, and decided to add his own contribution after I'd gone home for the night.

 

That would be the fire.

 

We were pretty amused.
