Built in the spring of 1882 under the direction of the United Order Board, with Thomas Chamberlain serving as bishop and president of the board, this woolen factory operated until 1890. Its machinery was powered by water, and it produced yarn, batting, and cloth, using the best wool for the yarn; more yarn was made than cloth. In 1889, three thousand one hundred and sixty-four yards of cloth were woven. Women’s clothing was made mostly of linsey, a fabric part wool and part cotton, and most women’s wedding dresses during the Order were made from cloth woven in the factory. Men’s suits were made of all wool, and very little cotton cloth was produced here. The lower floor had four looms along the south side and warping bars in the northwest corner, leaving a large space for meetings and dances. On the second floor were carding machines along the south side, spinners along the north, and four or five looms for making sheets. The third floor held the picker, called the devil, which picked the wool to pieces. The original building stood 300 feet northeast of this marker.
