Brief Description

Associated with the Cheshire Mfg. Co. (later the Ball and Socket Mfg. Co. #2675) mill. Consists of one single-family wood-frame house located at 14 Willow Street that was one of two residences (the other formerly located to the north has since been demolished) identified as the property of the Cheshire Mfg. Co. on an 1868 map. Additional working class housing located along Willow Street may have been occupied by employees of the Cheshire Mfg. Co. or its later manifestation, the Ball and Socket Mfg. Co., however, no direct links were identified.
