Khludov manufacture, Cotton factory in Yegoryevsk, Russia.
Khludov manufacture is a red brick cotton factory in Yegoryevsk with tall windows and a structured industrial facade. The complex stretches along the street and displays the typical layout of a large 19th-century textile production facility.
The factory began operations in the 1890s as a major textile production center for the region. Its growth drew workers from surrounding rural areas and turned Yegoryevsk into an important manufacturing city.
The factory shaped how people in Yegoryevsk lived and worked by drawing them into manufacturing rather than farming. You can see this change reflected in how the buildings relate to residential areas nearby.
The building is viewable from Parizhskoy Kommuny Street and can be observed from the outside year-round. Visit during daylight hours to appreciate the red brick construction and architectural details.
The factory relied on a large number of horses during winter months to transport wood for fuel and production. This transportation network created supporting industries that made the facility part of a much larger economic system.
