Description
This spool mill was built in 1875 for the Clark Thread Company of New Jersey. It was later taken over by Scotsman John MacGregor. The mill was in operation for 10 years when it burned to the ground in 1885. It was immediately built back up and was running within a few months. This is a picture of its 28 person work crew.
