Back in the day
Received this from a reader. Pictured are the two silk mills on North Thurd Street before demolition began - the upper part was torn down and Burger King built a facility there. In the second location will be the new Turkey Hill Experience.
The start of the demolition. Notice the three water towers - one for each silk mill, and one for Keeley Stove Company. The water tower on the far left has been repainted and will be re-signed for the Turkey Hill Experience.

Nice pics. Does anyone know what real estate was sold for over 4 million dollars in columbia? Two museums bought it. Robert
Robert -- it has to do with the Turkey Hill Experience. Musuem Partners and IBS were the group that purchased the property from the borough and CEDC.
It's either for the museum part of it or the Turkey Hill store going in the facility.
What year was the BK built? Thanks for the great pictures.
Late 1970s. I remember when it was first built Larry Bowa was there signing autographs.
