Notes
  • Significance: From the National Register of Historic Places nomination form: It was founded in 1873 by Samuel Newman Knight. The foundry and shops from their beginnings have been closely associated with the gold mining industry of the Mother Lode of California. The Knight water turbines, stamp mills, and other power and mining machinery designed and built here, were an essential part of this industry, which provided the means by which California influenced and accelerated the westward growth of the nation. It is still in operation today (in 1975 when the nomination was written) and remains perhaps the only shop of its kind in the world still run by water power.
  • Survey number: HAER CA-179
