The Historical Society was kind enough to send these images along with this bit of information: "You can see that in 1895, the land was still part of the John Ross property. By 1917, the Ross property was subdivided and Chermack Mfg. had been built. By 1976, there's a merch (?) shop, factory building, and the facility for Providence Braid. So we know that the building was put up between 1895 and 1917, perhaps for Chermack Mfg. There's more to learn with deed, map, and other archival research, but here's a headstart." We have records that show the building was put up in 1900. I need to double check that, I'm going by memory. Friends of ours worked with the historical society and applied for tax credits when they renovated their historic mill building. I want to take a visit to the historical society to learn more. Maybe even find period photographs.

[Left Image] This map is dated 1895. We're currently located in the pink square. In this map, our building would have been on the "Ross" property.

[Center Image] This map is dated 1917. We're currently located in the pink square labelled "Chermack Mfg. Co."

[Right Image] This map is dated 1976 and shows our building in its current configuration (white building).
