    Historic Whiskey Plant Building Collapses in Cockeysville, MD

    By RyanDuckett  |  Posted October 30, 2012  |  Cockeysville, Maryland
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     RyanDuckett shot this early Tuesday morning. He compared the plant to the town's version of 'Willy Wonka's' chocolate factory. He told me, 'Nobody had seen the inside of it since 1958. With the wall falling down, it's the first time it had fresh air since 1958. People were wondering for years what it looked like inside. It remained empty and the owner didn't have the opportunity to sell it. The hole in the side of the building is probably 60 feet by 50 feet tall, it is absolutely enormous.' He believes it collapsed in the middle of the night.
    - hhanks, CNN iReport producer

    Built in 1948, the RyeBrook Whiskey plant building on York Road in Cockeysville, MD was the last remaining part of a 200 year old distilling heritage of this small town. Sometime early Tuesday morning the North wall of this historic building gave way and collapsed. Leaving everyone passing by to see the inner side of a plant that had been closed since 1958.
