The old American Thread Company Mill in Dalton, GA, met an undeserved end on March 10, 1999. The following pages of photos were taken starting about 30 minutes after I first discovered the building was on fire. They are all from the rear of the building. I worked for 7 years in this building.

Needless to say, I no longer work in the old Threadmill...

The following shots are of the same area. One about 2 hours into the fire and the other about 3p.m. on 3/11/99

The walls are about 35 feet tall...this gives you an idea of the size of the flames...
