2023 December 11 — Broken Windows

Former Southern Industries Mill in Clover, SC was a Yarn Spinning Mill that closed in 2007. This was originally built in 1923 (per tax records) as part of the Hampton Spinning Mill (until 1945), then American Thread Company until 1985.

In 1945, it was home to the American Thread Company.

This abandoned mill was one of the last textile mills in South Carolina to fall, following a long line of closures throughout the second half of the twentieth century as competition from foreign countries like China and India crippled an industry that once dominated South Carolina’s Upstate. Called Southern Industries of Clover, its doors closed in 2007.
