The main mill, built in 1884, rises four stories above a basement and measures 272 by 93 feet, with a low-pitched roof, 20/20 sash and a wide bracketed cornice. The boiler house, chimney, dynamo, cloth room and picker house of the original complex survive. A large two-story granite weave shed, 143 by 300 feet, was added in 1894. The company was incorporated in 1884 under president Henry C. Lincoln and was one of nine Fall River textile firms founded in the 1880s. Its mill was among the first in the city lit by electricity rather than gas, and capacity grew to about 68,389 spindles by 1920. The complex was listed for its intact, solidly built utilitarian architecture and its isolated site. It is now used for light industry.","period_of_significance":"1884-1894","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Utilitarian granite mill architecture of the 1880s","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Presently used for light industry.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:11:57.038596-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/58/7897/63789758/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/83000716.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83000716/a974bb9674-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83000716/a974bb9674-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Marcbela (Marc N.
