The roofs were almost like their own level of the mill and a lot of fun to hang out on top of. Clearly never intended to be anything but a roof, the surface was very rigid and sturdy, it almost seemed like you could drive a forklift around up here and be fine. In the historic black and white aerial image below you can again see another diagram of the mill complex. The roof I'm standing on in the above color photo, is the building pictured below with the Traylor Engineering Manufacturing Co. text written across it.
