Old Schwamb Mill, Historic mill site in Arlington, Massachusetts, United States.
The Old Schwamb Mill features a U-shaped building reaching three stories high, with clapboard siding and multiple sections including flat and gabled roofs.
Charles and Frederick Schwamb purchased the mill in 1864, transforming the facility into a specialized picture frame manufacturing operation that continued until 1969.
The mill maintains its original 19th-century machinery, including elliptical lathes and shaft-and-pulley systems, demonstrating traditional manufacturing methods of circular frames.
Visitors can explore the mill during operating hours on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 10 AM to 4 PM, with free admission and a suggested donation of 5 dollars.
The facility stands on the oldest continuously operating mill site in the United States, with documented operations dating back to 1684.
