Gone are the days of bottled pop, and the great glass industry of nearby, Toledo, Dan'l. Progress? I'm not so sure.
Has this building been re-purposed?

I like the nice, clean lines of this building's architecture. It's a simple design, but beautiful. Tones and detail are superb.

As I liked also Brent! The street is all very early brick buildings. The street is on an incline yet 2 of the buildings appear to be "listing to the right". I shot this on a hill across the street from the building. About midway up the hill.
I appreciate your analysis brother. Need feedback be it good or bad.
Thanks!

Yes and no Douglas.
I will reply with the details when I get to my "photo computer".
Thanks!

I agree about the question of "progress" Douglas.
We substituted "plastic bottles and cans for glass which increased "garbage", taste and materials that should be recycled and pollute our environment.
Glass is easily recyclable.
Now the "Bottle Works".........Maryland did NOT participate in the "Prohibition era". It had many distilleries around the state and this was 1 of them. Rye whiskey was made here then the Bottle Works bottled it there for many years. It then became a bottling plant for a local dairy for many, many years. It was then re-purposed to McClintock Distillers who made whiskey and it was bottled here.
Thanks!

McClintock Distillers still in business today. Premium rye whiskey made here now.

Thank you Marcelo!
I posted this as a sort of hyperbole or irony....the building posted is listing to the right a tad. Maryland did not honor the Prohibition Act and became a supplier of whisky to those who partook of alcohol. The bottler's of the whisky had to "taste test" their product hence the listing.
