This is the only remaining silk mill in the United States with its machinery, company records and workers’ personal effects remaining unchanged from the time that the factory ceased operations in 1957. Listed in 2007, the owner is seeking to divest himself of what has become a substantial financial burden. Without immediate attention, the mill is in danger of irreversible deterioration. UPDATE: Community efforts to find a buyer continue. Preservation Maryland funds helped pay for temporary roof repairs. The Mill has attracted significant attention from photographers and a documentary-maker. It was also featured on CNN in 2011.
