What remains is the understructure of the mill. Not much, but still you can picture the place with superstructure intact. Suprisingly, there is underground madness!

Type: Building,ruins, historical significance.
Status: Demolished
Accessibility: Them rafting people are pretty crafty; but honestly, during rafting season , be a gentleman and get permission.This has to be the worlds best party spot for teens.
Recommendation: If you like history, you'll be enamored by this one. Union paper was in Ballston Spa and Hudson Falls; the current Union building is the new incarnation of the GE capacitor plant; WOW, history does indeed come full circle.

water In some cases a fear of heights; The frigging thing is pretty sketchy.

Compare my main shot with the understructure in the historical photo; All you can see from my perspective is the old power trough; But back in the day, with superstructure on the bastard, and after you have been there, you can see EVERY SINGLE FOUNDATION of those buildings pictured. And like I suspected, they can't destroy basements; turn the page true beleivers.

This location started out as the Rockwell Falls fibre Co. in 1878, was then coopted by Union bag and paper in 1892. Things obviously took a turn for the worse. The Union bag dam was destroyed by NY power and they demo'd the structure in 1923. Not unexpected, the dam had to go as the new dam on the Sacandaga res had to go in. The hydro facility at Congklingville is awesome. According to some there used to be other facilites here tanneries and the like.
