Notes
  • Significance: Founded in 1846, the Prattville Manufacturing Company was one of the South's earliest textile mills. A spinning and weaving operation from its inception, the original factory was razed when the owners, Daniel Pratt and associates, decided to expand operations into a new brick picker house and a new three-story brick structure (referred to as "Mill No. 1"), built in 1859. Operations expanded again in 1892 when W.T. Northington and his associates added a second mill ("Mill No. 2"), which largely replicated Mille No. 1 in style and operations. Both mills continued spinning and weaving well into the twentieth century. Production diversified over the years and at different times company operations included knitting, dyeing, and sewing.
