When constructed, this was the largest textile mill in the Southeastern United States.
This was the site of the infamous 1929 National Textile Workers Union strike in 1929, an early landmark event in Southern labor history.
Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001 as part of the Loray Mill Historic District.
This is slated for renovation into a mixed-use development as part of preservation efforts.
