Glass Factory

This factory began operation in 1917 and was owned by Model Window Glass until 1923. Then from 1925 until 1928 the Magnolia Window Glass Company had it's operations here. The history on this place is a little fuzzy switching hands two more times until 1983 when the Southwest Glass Company bought the building. In 2003 they went out of business and this 100,000sq ft. factory has been laying waste since then.

Yes, they had several piles in different locations. All different colors too.

Wow! Good stuff man.

...the wings on my shoes shrank now the moths won't eat my kidneys, when i shake my state capital it only yields 3 fairy napkins, but how do i know my banana slippers are like water boats because when the moon winks it burns my hamster punches, and that's how you get to llama school rowing your canoe backwards up main street when the front bumper falls off, do mermaids get to drink orange juice?

glass slag is really hard to work with because it usually has tons of cracks in it, but needless to say, if you find a good piece you can get really beautiful results.

Interesting. There's quite a few interesting pieces there. I also found a room that has glass vases, etc and they're completely untouched.

3 and 13, are the best IMO though centered compositions wouldn't have been my first choice
