It was built in phases from 1927 to 1938.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the mill is significant under Criterion A for industry because of its role in Greensboro's textile industry, as one of the city's largest employers in the period. It notes the plant's hosiery innovations, its labor history, and the mill's largely intact interior and exterior form.","narrative":"Built from 1927 as a hosiery mill at 2610 Oakland Avenue in southwest Greensboro, the complex grew through additions in 1928, 1930, 1936 and 1938 into a long reinforced concrete block of roughly 120,000 to 140,000 square feet, clad in brick. Its operator, the Mock, Judson, Voehringer Company, later renamed Mojud Hosiery Company, produced silk and then nylon hosiery and employed hundreds of workers, reaching more than 2,000 in the 1950s. The mill is recognized for its role in the city's textile industry and for hosiery methods introduced there, including picot top and heel attachments and full-fashioned knitting. Its interior remains largely open and unaltered, and its window openings were infilled with brick in the 1940s to control temperature for the knitting machines. A 1938 Art Moderne retail store, a 1927 boiler house and a brick chimney are part of the complex. The property was listed for its industrial history and the surviving form of the plant.","period_of_significance":"1927- ca. 1956","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Modern Movement: Moderne","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"Closed after Kayser-Roth operated it until 1972; mostly empty afterward, with a factory outlet store closing in 1999; the document states the mill has been vacant for the past decade.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:40.835969-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/22/7206/47720622/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/11000141.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/11000141/5cecc97d54-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/11000141/5cecc97d54-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Rhpotter","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mock,_Judson,_Voehringer_Company_Hosiery_Mill_(Greensboro,_North_Carolina)_1.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Rhpotter</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mock,_Judson,_Voehringer_Company_Hosiery_Mill_(Greensboro,_North_Carolina)_1.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47720622","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mock,_Judson,_Voehringer_Company_Hosiery_Mill","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18154532"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/guilford-county/mock-judson-voehringer-company-hosiery-mill-11000141/"}
