Whittenton Mills Complex, Industrial heritage site in Taunton, United States.
The Whittenton Mills Complex spans 42 acres along the Mill River, containing multiple red brick buildings with large windows for manufacturing operations.
James Leonard established an iron forge at this location in 1670, which later transformed into a textile manufacturing center throughout the 19th century.
The mill buildings represent the industrial transformation of New England, where water-powered facilities created economic growth in small communities.
The complex currently houses various small businesses and maintains its original architectural elements, including the characteristic brick construction and window design.
Martin Scorsese selected this location in 2008 for filming scenes of Shutter Island, using the industrial setting to portray a concentration camp.
