That old shell of a building at Pope's Creek was an old electric power plant from maybe the 1930's. It was the first power plant in Southern Maryland. It closed in the 1950's.

historybuff,

Excellent, thanks for the identification of the ruins! It was quite an imposing place, and I'm glad to know now what it was.
