Crompton Loom Works
Crompton Loom Works, Industrial complex in Worcester, Massachusetts.
The Crompton Loom Works features connected brick buildings of varying heights, from one to three stories, with Renaissance Revival architectural elements at Green Street.
Founded in 1860 by George Crompton, the facility manufactured power looms for weaving fancy fabrics, becoming a major industrial employer in Worcester until 1980.
The building represents the evolution of New England textile manufacturing, with its industrial Italianate design incorporating quoined corners and corbelled tower eaves.
The structure maintains its position at the junction of Green and Harrison Streets, south of downtown Worcester, and received National Register status in 1980.
Beyond loom production, the facility expanded to create can packaging machines, bowling pinsetters, and operated its own materials testing laboratory.
