That's the mill as I remember it. I only entered it once and never went beyond the ground floor. The tower had a stairwell and freight elevator. The machine noise was deafening, and conversation was difficult. Everyone (including my father) who worked there lost some of their hearing. My father retained most of his hearing and did not need a hearing aid. However, he worked there for only 2 years and was 40 yrs old. He then went to work for Simonds in Fitchburg.
Great photo of the mill. What was in the tower attached to the main building? Elevator shafts?
