Notes
The Pemberton Mills were built in 1853 by the Essex Company. The mills were purchased at a fraction of the original building cost by David Nevins and George How and resumed production after the original company ran into trouble. The original mill building collapsed on January 10, 1860 with the loss of 88 lives in one of the worst American industrial accidents to that time. The current mill was reconstructed on the original site by the new company Pemberton Mills.
