Harmony Mills, Historic textile factory in Cohoes, United States
Harmony Mills complex stretches over 1,100 feet along the Mohawk River, featuring large windows and detailed brick architecture from the 1800s.
The factory operated from the 1860s through the 1880s as one of the largest cotton fabric producers in America, employing 2,500 workers at its height.
The workforce consisted primarily of immigrant women and children who formed strong labor unions and participated in significant strikes during the 1880s.
The former industrial complex now houses 340 residential apartments, marking the first population growth in Cohoes since 1930.
Construction workers discovered a complete prehistoric mastodon skeleton during the building process, leading to the nickname 'Mastodon Mill.'
