🚃 Mystery Photo #6: Progress on the Mill Site

This image shows railroad tracks running alongside a partially completed brick building. The rail access suggests materials were being delivered directly to the construction area.

Can anyone identify the location or approximate year?

We’re especially interested in hearing from families with ties to the mill or local construction trades.

🧱 Mystery Photo #5: The Beginning of Something Big

Workers, cranes, and enormous granite blocks fill this scene as a large structure rises from the ground. The craftsmanship involved in these foundations is remarkable.

Do you know what building project this was? Was it part of the original mill construction or a later expansion?

Let us know what you see!

❄️ Mystery Photo #3: Building Through the Snow

Construction didn’t stop for winter! This image shows workers among massive stone foundations while steam rises around them, likely during a major expansion of the Madison mill.

Does anyone know what section of the mill this might be? Can you identify the era or project shown here?

We’d love to hear from anyone familiar with Madison’s mill history.
