Brief Description
For description see National Register application: http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NRHP/Text/07000110.pdf. The district includes the Rossie Velvet Mill (#2689) and nearby housing both built before and after the mill’s establishment in 1898. Expansion of the mill during the early 20th c. increased the local demand for housing and numerous residences built to satiate this demand are included within the historic district.
