Ashley and Bailey Company Silk Mill
Ashley and Bailey Company Silk Mill, Industrial heritage site in West York, Pennsylvania, United States.
The three-story brick factory features a stone foundation, shallow gable roof, and an L-shaped tower at its corner measuring thirteen bays in length.
Built in 1899, this silk mill marked York's entry into silk production, joining the established textile manufacturing centers of Lancaster County and Paterson, New Jersey.
The mill represents Pennsylvania's industrial evolution, as textile production shifted from urban centers to smaller towns offering lower operating costs and available workers.
Located at 1237 West Princess Street, the building stands empty since the 1980s with current plans for conversion into low-income residential housing units.
The facility changed from ribbon weaving to broad silk production before transforming into the Franklin Silk Mill in 1914 under B. Edmund David's ownership.
