The Lauderdale Factories in the Early Days

Picture_2.png

Although I’ve posted quite a few images of the Lauderdale Mansion on these pages, I believe this is the first time I’ve bothered to show one of our factories.

This is an early, undated view of the main dirigible factory outside Itta Bena, Mississippi. During the peak production years, the aluminum-fabricating machinery and hydrogen-processing equipment operated 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Plus there was a gift shop.

I believe the empty buildings are now used to store old Facebook posts and the URLs of dead websites. Such a waste.
