The former gin, known as Hobbs

- Hobbs Gin, 2007 -

Since I mentioned this photo in the previous post, I thought I'd go ahead and show it to ya'll. It was pretty well dilapidated in 2007, when this was taken. It looks like it was being scrapped.

According to the Handbook of Texas Online, the Hobbs Co-op Gin was formed in the 1940's. I also found an Environmental Protection Agency Facility Detail Report that has some obscure details about the gin.
