Clipper Mill

Baltimore's Clipper Mill is located in the neighborhood of Woodberry which lies along the Jones Falls river. The Jones Falls provided water power for the mills in the Baltimore area, including The Clipper Mill Industrial Park which was originally established in the 1850's. Today the multiple mill buildings and surrounding area has been renovated into magnificent offices, apartments, restaurants and even a lovely community pool. The Tractor Building, pictured below, was built later than most of the surrounding buildings in 1916. The building was used for the manufacturing of large machines. This is one of the few parts of Clipper Mill that has yet to be renovated but, will become more offices and apartments in the future. For now it shows what once was and the beauty in it's abandon.
