Notes
  • Significance: At the time of its erection, 1888, this factory was the only bagging mill in Texas and was possibly the only such factory ever erected in the state. Its purpose was to produce woven jute bagging, a necessity for covering baled cotton. The mill had the capacity to produce 10,000,000 yards of bagging, sufficient to bale the entire Texas cotton crop. In recent times the building was used for cotton bale storage. The building is architecturally important both for the quality of its design and for its fire-preventative water cistern and sprinkler system. Large 5,000 and 10,000 gallon water tanks located in the three front towers fed a sprinkler system by gravity flow.
