Historical Narrative:
Themes - Architecture, Industry and Development of Town.
This building is basically of old water struck brick. There was a brick factory down river and this should help date the building. This is a twin of the warehouse next to it - building #6 on the map.
SMith & Dove Manufacturing Co. purchased the former Abbot Mills in 1843. These buildings were constructed between 1845 - 1860, prior to the Civil War.
