Berkshire Mill No. 1
Berkshire Mill No. 1 is a historic mill on Hoosac Street in the center of Adams, Massachusetts. It is one of the surviving remnants of the Berkshire Cotton Manufacturing Company, established in Adams in 1888 by the locally prominent Plunkett family. The business was successful despite a drop in demand for the products of other Adams mills because the Plunketts decided to focus on more fashionable fine cotton fabric. The company grew rapidly between its founding and 1900, when President William McKinley, a friend of the Plunketts, laid the cornerstone for their Number 4 Mill. The company eventually acquired other mills by purchase, but business declined in the 20th century, and the mills changed ownership several times. Portions of them were converted to other manufacturing uses, and mills 2 and 3 were demolished due do a drop in demand for industrial space.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MACRIS inventory record for Berkshire Mill Number 1 )〕 The mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.〔 The building was converted into 65 apartments in 1987 and is currently managed by Harvest Properties LLC..
