Mohawk Mills / 
McCleary, Wallin and Crouse Mills
Power Plant
Amsterdam, New York

The Stephen Sanford & Sons mills (more popularly known as Bigelow-Sanford) appear to have lost some buildings, judging by aerial photographs seen at this website. After the great carpet manufacturing flight to the southern United State sin the 1950s, some of the factories found reuse. The last major tenant to occupy this site was toy manufacturer Coleco, which arrived here in the late 1960s for a run that lasted twenty years. Coleco didn't use the site for manufacturing, but rather for packaging and shipping popular '80s toys such as Cabbage Patch Dolls. 

These photographs were taken March, 2011.
