Brief Description
Consists of at least eight single- and multi-family wood-frame residential buildings identified as the property of the Converseville Woolen Mill, predecessor to the Warren Woolen Co. (#2823), on an 1869 map of the area. Additional worker housing located in the area may have also been built for and owned by the various companies that owned the mill, however, further research is needed to confirm or disprove this fact. Most of the Converseville Woolen Mill housing consists of wood-frame duplex-style residences, however, two large boarding houses are also present.
