Maple Street North Bellingham

Circa 1910, Maple Street in North Bellingham looked north toward Hartford Avenue past two woolen mills built in the 1800's. The building on the right, with workers standing outside, was built in 1880, and the second building in the foreground, closer to Hartford Avenue, was built in 1810. Both mills operated using water power from the nearby Charles River, and during World War I they ran twenty-four hours a day filling government contracts.
