Regan Co. employed 350 workers, ran 50 looms and some 10,000 spindles. (Roth) National Printing Co. produced greeting cards.

The only surviving structure in the two Regan-built complexes is this 1893, 4-story, brick-pier mill (102' x 73') in the center of Rockville, at the seventh water privilege on the Hockanum Rover in town. It has a flat roof, segmental-arch lintels and stone sills. (Roth) The J.J. Regan complex included mills on both the north and south sides of the Hockonum River, east of Vernon Avenue between West Main and Brooklyn Streets. The structures on the north side of the Hockanum River appear to remain from the northern woolen mill complex. The office building to the east of the brick-pier mill appears to have been built between 1920 and 1940 and was used by National Printing Co.
