Tower and Northwest Corner of Western Knitting Mills

6-Jul-07

The Western Knitting Mills factory was built in 1896 and produced knitted goods until 1939. The building was later owned by the McAleer Manufacturing Company, later known as the Higbie Manufacturing Company, and then ITT Higbie. In 1994 the Rochester Mills Beer Company restored the building and it now operates as a restaurant and brewery. An automobile can be seen in the foreground. Addressed to Mr. Arthur Bird of Milford, Michigan. (RRP-294) Ray Russell Postcard Collection
