Most were built about 1910-1915 as housing for textile mill workers.","why_significant":"The district holds the largest group of relatively unaltered mill housing remaining in Carrboro. The houses were built by Thomas F. Lloyd for workers at his second textile mill, later Durham Hosiery Mill No. 7. They show the layout and character of an early twentieth-century mill village. The form also notes likely archaeological resources, such as privies and garden plots, that could shed light on workers' living conditions.","narrative":"Thirty frame houses on East Carr Street, Maple Avenue and South Greensboro Street in Carrboro make up this mill village district. Thomas F. Lloyd built most of them between about 1910 and 1915 to house workers at his second textile mill, which Durham Hosiery Mill acquired in 1913 and renamed Mill Number 7. The mill is gone, but the houses remain. Most are modest one-story, one-room-deep dwellings with rear ells, triple-A rooflines and hip-roofed porches, along with a few larger two-story L-shaped houses meant for bigger families. Many have asbestos shingles over the original weatherboards, but the form describes the group as the largest body of relatively unaltered mill housing left in Carrboro. Lots are large, with deep rear yards originally meant for kitchen gardens. Twenty-five buildings contribute to the district, three do not, and two later brick ranch houses are intrusions. The form also suggests that buried remains of outbuildings and gardens could add to knowledge of mill families' daily lives.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Thomas F.
