Mooresville Mill Village Historic District

The Mooresville Mill Village Historic District contains 62 contributing buildings with examples of Italianate, Romanesque Revival, and Renaissance Revival architecture styles.

From 1902 to 1930, the Mooresville Cotton Mills constructed more than 400 residential houses to accommodate workers during the textile industry expansion.

The district exhibits the architectural evolution of mill worker housing, from initial three-room T-shaped designs to larger four and five-room configurations by 1917.

The district spans 160 acres between Wilson, Cauldwell, Kennette, Lutz, Messeck, Catawba Avenues, Smith Street, Bruce Street, and Shearers Road.

The self-sufficient village included essential facilities such as boarding houses, a church, a school, a band hall, and stores within Mooresville town limits.
