The mill watches Lancaster prepare for war that will generate prosperity. It observes the labor unrest from strikes to riots. This is the early 20th century. A time of change though not for the mill as it fades into disuse. It watches the women suffrage movement take to the street and the transformations that the 18th amendment begins to makes. Time peels the paint down and crumbles the brick, but the building remains standing through turbulence period.
