Cocheco Mills, Industrial heritage district in Dover, US.
The Cocheco Mills complex consists of six major manufacturing buildings, including four main mills, two picker houses, and a dam along the Cocheco River.
Founded in 1823 as the Dover Manufacturing Company, the textile mills operated until 1937, employing 2000 workers who produced 65 million yards of cloth annually.
The mills shaped Dover's development through employment opportunities, leading to new housing construction and the establishment of local businesses in the surrounding area.
The National Register of Historic Places site contains multiple buildings that now function as offices, restaurants, and entertainment venues, accessible from Washington Street.
The dam stretches across the Cocheco River with rough-cut granite ashlar construction, reaching heights between 9 and 150 feet with a concrete spillway.
