Bounded by Hamlet Avenue, Davison Avenue, and Manville Road, a complex of sixteen brick buildings was built between 1906 and the late 1920s. The complex was home to the French Worsted Company, a manufacturer established with funds from French investors brought over by Aram Pothier, the Quebec-born mayor of Woonsocket. The company engaged in the manufacture of fine worsted wool yarns. The company survived the Great Depression and competition from Southern mills, but finally failed in 1969. The buildings were then converted to a variety of light manufacturing interests.[2] The mill district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 21, 2008.[1] It was demolished in 2012.[3] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|2007a}} {{Registered Historic Places}}{{ProvidenceCountyRI-NRHP-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.preservation.ri.gov/pdfs_zips_downloads/national_pdfs/woonsocket/woon_french-worsted-complex.pdf|title=NRHP nomination for French Worsted Company Mill Historic District|publisher=Rhode Island Preservation|accessdate=2014-08-05}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Costly demolition projects leave city in a pile of bricks|newspaper=The Valley Breeze|date=May 10, 2012|last=Phaneuf|first=Sandy}} 4 : French-American culture in Rhode Island|Historic districts in Providence County, Rhode Island|Historic districts on the National Register of Historic Places in Rhode Island|National Register of Historic Places in Providence County, Rhode Island |
