Klots Throwing Company Mill

Klots Throwing Company Mill is a two-story brick structure in Cumberland featuring double-gable roofs and paired stepped parapets. The industrial property contains multiple buildings and structures from its manufacturing period.

The mill was built between 1902 and 1903 and initially operated as a silk throwing facility for the Klots Company. Gentex Corporation later took over operations until the facility closed in 1972.

The building displays early 20th-century industrial design and reflects the textile manufacturing heritage that shaped Maryland's economy and communities.

The property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is viewable from the exterior. The northern section was adapted for community use in the past, showing how the building has served different purposes.

The facility was once the heart of a large manufacturing operation with multiple factories across the region. This Cumberland location was one of several key mills in the company's network.
