Klotz Throwing Company

The Klotz throwing company was a silk company in Maryland that once employed 300 people before closing in 1957. It was built in 1902, and another building was added in 1909 which has now been turned into a food bank and then apartments. The silk company closed when cheaper labor was available overseas. A man named Herb Crawford owned and maintained the buildings, and try to keep it open for visitors and photographer tours. When Herb passed away in 2019 the future for the abandoned Klotz Throwing Company is uncertain.
