Description
As a working cotton mill, a space for varied types of manufacturing, and eventually as a project of historical preservation, the Slater Mill has played many roles in the history of Pawtucket. Leavitt’s work includes such illuminating images as a turn-of-the-century bicycle shop, a crowded mill scene in the early twentieth century, and the transformation of the site into a tourist attraction in the 1920s. This volume also shows how the site was re-configured as a community museum in the 1950s and ’60s, as well as how the industrial emphasis of the curators eventually resulted in the addition of a working water wheelto the site. Well-illustrated, with fact-filled text, Slater Mill is acharming look back at a pivotal part of Pawtucket life that will interest young and old alike.
