Manville - Woonsocket, Rhode Island - Milk Can Structure

Manville - Woonsocket, Rhode Island - Milk Can

Also referred to as Milk Bottle building. This building was actually a business located a bit further south on rte 146 near what is now the junction of 146/I-295. Business closed (circa 1968) and eventually was bought by new owners and moved to its present location with the intention of re-opening. The new owners (exact reasons unknown to me) were unable to secure all the necessary permits and the building has remained like that since. [Rene G, 04/29/2007]

Manville - Woonsocket, Rhode Island - Milk Bottle Building

There is a big milk bottle-shaped business building that has been unused for as long as I have been in the area (since 1990). It still is in good shape and I would love to see someone buy it and open it as a Dairy Cone or something. I'd be willing to buy the first scoop. Good location, too -- near a three-screen drive-in theater. [Sean Shea, 03/13/2004]
