| Description |
A view of the Kennebec River and the town of Hallowell, Maine on the left. In the distance is the dome of the state capitol in Augusta. The large brick building is a cotton mill that was built before the Civil War. During a typical week, it used 35 bales of cotton shipped from New Orleans and burned 30 tons of coal. About 200 employees produced 43,000 yards of fabric on 215 looms. The first steam engine used here was built by the McClench Iron Works at Sheppard’s Point. The finished cloth sold for 6 cents a yard, and each employee made 62 cents a day. The mill ceased operation in the 1890’s as many textile manufacturers moved south. Shoe companies occupied the building from 1920 to 1966. It was little used until the Federal Advisory Council on Historic Preservation teamed with HUD in 1979 to transform the building into apartments for the elderly. [website] |
