Notes
  • Significance: This building is the oldest existing mill in Fall River. It was built in 1847 by the Fall River Iron Works, and patterned on the English mills in its ample width. This mill is also significant as the only one remaining on the original site of the city's textile factories, along the lower falls of the Quequechan River. The Metacomet Mill (later the American Print Works No. 6 Mill) was built in 1847 by the Fall River Iron Works. A "wide" mill, it was patterned after mills of England; with a barn roof it had 5 1/2 stories, later raised to 6 stories, and other additions were made. Located below the lower falls of the Quequechan, it was initially powered by a water turbine.
