Textile Mills and Their Machinery
Textile mills were very popular in the USA during the 19th century. During the Industrial Revolution the making of thread, yarn and cloth was almost completely mechanized. Here are some images of textile mills long since abandoned and some of the complex machinery used to make cloth.

It remained a cotton mill until operations closed in 1975. (Images on this page provided as a Courtesy of the Roswell Historical Society and a Courtesy of the City of Roswell.) | |
