    The Dissertation Committee for Anthony Joseph Fassi III Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Manufacturing Ruin Committee: Jeffrey L. Meikle, Supervisor Elizabeth Engelhardt Mark C. Smith Steven Hoelscher Martin Kevorkian Manufacturing Ruin by Anthony Joseph Fassi III, A. B.; M. A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2013 Manufacturing Ruin Anthony Joseph Fassi III, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Austin, 2013 Supervisor: Jeffrey L. Meikle “Manufacturing Ruin” argues that the most important moments in the history of the concept and consciousness of “American ruin” accompany volatile episodes of progress and decline in American manufacturing. This dissertation attends to the construction of “American ruin” in response to the rise of manufacturing in the early to mid-nineteenth century and the decline of industrial capitalism in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Americans have manufactured picturesque ruins and spectacular episodes of ruination both to conceal and reveal and to “contain” and “harness” destructive forces inherent to capitalism. In some cases, ruins have been represented in ways that conceal processes of ruination inherent to their own destruction. In other instances, episodes of destruction demonstrate that in attending to particular processes of ruination, Americans have intentionally ignored others.

Describe architectural, structural and landscape features an d evalua te in terms of other buildings within the community. Although subjected to significant alterations in being adapted to new uses, the industrial identity of this 2-story, shallow gable-roofed, long, rectangular-plan building at 50 Powder Mill Road, once part of the American Powder Mills, is still obvious. The 100' historic portion of the mill appears to be comprised of two separate sections, 60' on the weste rn end and 40' on the eastern end, to w hich the 20' x 30' mod ern, shed-roofe d section has been a dded. A 16' x 10', enclosed p orch is located on the northeast corner of the building. Wall and eaves detail has been covered with the application of vinyl siding on three elevations, but clapboard siding with end boards remains exposed on the river (north) elevation. An exterior, almost free-standing, brick chimney stands on the north elevation.
