Built in 1873, it is the largest surviving element of the once-sprawling Border City Mill complex. It was designed by Josiah Brown, a prominent local designer of mills, and is one of the city's few brick mills. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1] It was converted into residences in the 1980s. Description and historyBorder City Mil No. 2 is located in northwestern Fall River, on the east The Border City Mill Company was organized in 1872 by a group of investors from Boston.[2] The company's first president was S. Angier Chace and George T. Hathaway was treasurer.[3] The mill was erected in 1873, the choice of brick dictated by the site's relatively remote access from Fall River's granite quarries. It was also one of the early mills to be built on the Taunton River, most of the city's previous mills having been sited on the Quequechan River. The mill is an early work of Josiah Brown, considered the city's first professional architect.[2] The company produced primarily shirting and sheeting fabrics. During the financial crisis of 1879, the company was re-organized with John S. Brayton as president. By 1888, the Border City Manufacturing Company was operating in three mills.[2] The company was still operating in 1940. Mill No. 2 was converted into residential apartments in the 1980s, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. See also
