not archaeological and not in US, but a group has preserved the black  
powder mill from the Australian government WWII plant at Albion,  
Victoria. there is some background to the larger plant here: https://www.academia.edu/1953463/Draft_Albion_Explosives_Factory_Heritage_Study

a google search will find plenty of minor references and pictures of  
the builidng, but there has been no comprehensive publication on the  
BP mill itself.

It was built to a design of Nobel/ICI and there were three similar  
structures at the ICI explosives factory accross the road, also built  
in the 1930s.
