Slater Mill
Built in 1793, Slater Mill was the first water powered cotton mill in America, and among the first properties to be recognized as a National Historic Landmark.
Our comprehensive exterior restoration required the replacement of over 9,100 linear feet (nearly 1.75 miles) of deteriorated wood clapboard. In addition, the hoisting beam and gates at the bell tower were repaired, parts of the brick foundation repointed, and a new cedar-shingle roof installed. More than 130 historic wood window sash were restored before the building was painted in its signature, rich, yellow hue.
