Hockley Forge and Mill, Colonial industrial building in Elkridge, US
The Hockley Forge and Mill complex stands along the Patapsco River, featuring multiple industrial structures at the river's head of navigation point.
Constructed in 1760 by contractor Caleb Dorsey, the forge became part of the Baltimore Company under Charles Carroll of Carrollton's ownership.
The industrial site employed enslaved workers who manufactured products as alternatives to English imports during the pre-Revolutionary period.
The location includes remaining foundations and architectural elements from various mills that operated throughout different industrial periods.
The property transformed from a forge to a distillery and later housed an early automobile manufacturing operation between 1906 and 1910.
