Abandoned Travels

12/28/2013
CMX Construction

This property has since been leveled, the lot now sits empty, so I will share more information on this site.

This was one of the more interesting finds I've had the pleasure of photographing. I enjoy industrial complexes with the large expanse of outbuildings, machinery and usually lots of interesting things left behind.

I've visited this site multiple times, once with a buddy, and I went back later again with my sister, who's in a few of the photos. She's also an amazing photographer, working mainly with family portraits and newborns.

The property was previously owned by CEMEX Inc, and moved over to CEMEX Construction Materials in 2008.

CEMEX, founded in 1906 in Mexico, is a global concrete and construction corporation. This location was one of their concrete plants that served the area.

In 2016 the property was sold to Mary Jess LLC, a name of which I can't find any information on. The street name and two lakes are named after this person though.

Google shows this lake as Lake Mary Jess. Bing Maps shows this as Lake Mary. In the book, Beyond Gatlin, by Richard Cronin, another (newer looking) map also shows it as Lake Mary, and there is only one reference that I found in the book, only mentioning Lake Mary in regards to directional location. I write to Richard Cronin hoping he may have some answers as to who Mary Jess is or was. (4/8/19)

4/8/19 - Oddly enough, as I went back to look at this location again a couple of months later, Google Sat Maps shows the old images for this site again, and everything still standing. The street view shows the silos gone and demo in progress.
