The knitting mill was built by William and Benjamin May in the first half of the 1900s. The structure consists of one-story-on-partial basement which is built with brick and reinforced concrete.[1] A distinctive sawtooth roof is a prominent feature of this building which depicts an early 20th century textile mill design.[3]
