It is also part of one of Fall River's largest textile operations of the 20th century.

It was added to the Sagamore complex, which sits on a 35-acre site near the Taunton River and eventually held three mills and 48 tenements. Granite was brought by spur track from a new ledge in Assonet opened for the purpose, which was unusual in an area where other mills were of different materials. The building keeps its simple bracketed wooden cornice and most of its original sash. Its second mill raised the company's capacity to 84,692 spindles. The Sagamore company was among the largest Fall River textile enterprises in the early 20th century and one of the few to survive the Great Depression. The mill is valued as a representative example of late 19th-century utilitarian granite mills and as part of that major operation. The complex remains in industrial use.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Utilitarian granite mill","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The Sagamore properties were sold in 1965 to different owners and remain in industrial use; the mill retains its bracketed wooden cornice and most original sash.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:57.894864-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/54/7897/63789754/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/83000712.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83000712/c7cec505ff-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83000712/c7cec505ff-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Marcbela (Marc N.
