Boott Mills, Industrial textile complex in Lowell, Massachusetts, US.
The Boott Mills complex spans multiple brick buildings along the Merrimack River, featuring large windows and external stair towers for efficient operations.
Built in 1835, this cotton mill facility employed water power from canals, later incorporating steam and electric power to drive manufacturing machinery.
The mills employed numerous female workers from rural areas, who lived in dedicated boarding houses and formed the foundation of Lowell's industrial community.
The National Park Service operates the Boott Cotton Mills Museum, which includes a functioning weave room demonstrating historical textile production methods.
The complex maintains its original 19th-century industrial architecture while housing modern apartments and serving as an educational facility.
