Notes
  • Significance: Graniteville Mill was one of the largest mills in the South during the antebellum period. The original mill, canal, school house, and a number of original Gothic Revival houses are still extant at Graniteville and form the core of a National Historic Landmark community. The granite mill building and canal system constructed in the late 1840s represent an early example of technology transfer from the New England textile industry to the South. The company-owned mill village of hotel, stores, boarding houses, and Gothic Revival single family dwellings at Graniteville established a community structure that would become widespread throughout the Piedmont South during the late nineteenth century. The initial success and subsequent longevity of Graniteville's textile industry have enabled this important example of pre-Civil War Southern industrial development to survive to the present.
