Hampton Looms . Bedford . 1930's
Produced material for military uniforms and coats.
Sunday the guys were all watching football and I needed to get out of the house. I jumped in the car and ended up in Bedford. I love walking around the historical Main Street in Bedford but this time I ventured off Main Street and ended up here. Since I was alone I stayed in my car and snapped a few pictures but next time the boys are coming with me so I can walk around!

This old factory will be the future home of Beale's Beer. One thing about this area of Virginia, you won't ever have to travel far for a beer. Breweries are the trend around here now. For more on the opening of Beale's Click Here also in researching what the building was I found an interesting story on "Real Life Rosie the Riveters" that talks about women during the war that worked in these factories, including Hampton Looms. You can read that HERE

Very interesting. I am glad the building is going to be used again---even for a brewery. I hope they post about it's history too.

Tanya, this is interesting, last Saturday I was in Buffalo taking pictures and many of their old abandoned buildings now house breweries! I like the size of those windows. Thanks for being here this week, please stop back again real soon.
ReplyDeleteThat is excellent news for the community. No tearing down of this building, I'll toast to that. :)
ReplyDeleteTanya, Thank you visiting our blog. Since Fillmore's birth site is near us, I piggy-backed on Tom's post. Wonderful use of this old building. Gotta love urban renewal when it is done correctly.
ReplyDeleteSomeone is always watching us ;-)
ReplyDeletePhoto #2 is truly awesome in colors and light.
Oooo just the kind of place I'd love to explore, camera in hand of course! But taking company is very wise!
ReplyDeleteWow! Enjoyed reading the extra bit on the link. Really interesting.
ReplyDeleteGreat architecture and history about the buildings of that era.
ReplyDeleteYes, someone IS watching us! But it is a happy person, so no danger. We have upteens of breweries around here, and more opening every week. The second shot is gorgeous,with the blues in the windows.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad that all the old mills are gone. But at least the buildings will be put to good use as a brewery. Love your photos, especially the one with the great yellow reflections.
ReplyDeleteIt's good that the building is seeing a new use.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will post some pictures when it is renovated. Cool shots, though. I would have stayed in the car, too!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the building is being repurposed! These days it seems just about everyone has a brewery! I've not of Beale's beer before, but if I see it, I'll try it.
