Scope and Content Note

This collection consists of a 1920s panoramic print of Manchester Cotton Mill which was located in Rock Hill, SC on the North side of what is now Dave Lyle Blvd at the corner of Curtis Street and Quantz Street. Manchester Mills was built in 1895 and opened in 1896 with John R. Barron and R.T. Fewell being the most prominent in its early development. Manchester went bankrupt in 1920. The J. P. Stevens Company based in New York eventually became sole owner of the plant in 1948. The plant was then known as the J.P. Stevens Textile Mill.
