Notes
  • Significance: This building was considered one of the most efficiently designed textile mills of its time. It was the first large textile mill to have a shallow gable roof in preference to the traditional steeply pitched mill roofs and it also had a greater interior width than was common for the mills of the period in which it was built. The Number One granite mill of the Richard Bordon Manufacturing Company, the first to abandon the barn type roof, was erected in 1873. Plans for the building and machine equipment were by Thomas J. Borden. With its greater width, it was considered one of the most efficient structures for manufacturing purposes in this country. Number Two Mill was constructed in 1889.
