Washburn and Moen North Works District
Washburn and Moen North Works District, Industrial heritage site in Worcester, Massachusetts
The Washburn and Moen North Works District includes thirteen brick buildings between Grove and Prescott Streets, featuring the Main Mill and Long Mill structures.
Founded in 1831, this manufacturing complex produced telegraph wire and barbed wire, becoming the largest business in Worcester during the second half of the 19th century.
The Cotton Mill section initially manufactured materials for hoop skirts, reflecting the industrial adaptation to changing fashion trends in American society.
The industrial complex continues its manufacturing legacy through current light industrial operations, specializing in the production of wire-based products.
The Main Mill building underwent a notable transformation from its original three stories with a mansard roof to a complete four-story structure around 1900.
