The main hosiery mill dates from 1934, and the rear Double Eagle Mill was in operation by 1931.","why_significant":"The mill is significant in industry as one of Carrollton's leading employers for most of the 20th century and as a representative of Georgia's textile industry. It is also significant in architecture for its steel-framed, slow-burn construction, which marks a shift in Georgia mill building technology before World War II.","narrative":"Close to Carrollton's town square, this brick mill complex on Bradley Street was built for hosiery maker Thomas Jackson Lawler. A one-story timber-framed building at the rear, home to the Double Eagle Mill, was operating by 1931. The two-story main mill followed in 1934. It uses slow-burn construction, with load-bearing brick walls, steel posts and beams, maple floors, a shallow-pitched roof, large steel windows and a sprinkler system. Over the decades the site produced socks and, in the 1940s, chenille goods such as bedspreads and rugs. By 1947 it employed about 400 workers, mostly women, and half of wartime production went to the war effort. Its location near downtown meant no mill village was needed. The mill closed in 1995 and was rehabilitated into loft apartments, keeping its framing, brick walls, wood floors and windows. It is recognized for its role in local industry and as an example of early 20th-century Georgia mill design.","period_of_significance":"1931-1954","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Early 20th-century industrial building","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Rehabilitated as loft apartments in the late 1990s (certified 2002); current use is multiple dwelling.
