Throughout the 1920s, the Mill continued to grow and prosper. But in the 30's, with the nation in a recession, the mill went into receivership. This photo, taken sometime in the 1930's shows how the mill and mill village had developed throughout the 20's. Here's what the 1925 Sanborn map tells us about the mill complex seen in this aerial photo:
