Part of the Durham Hosiery Mills Co. evolution away from cotton hosiery, the silk hosiery mill was built on the former site of the Hotel Carrolina and Pandora's Box, and remained viable throughout mid-century - unlike the cotton mills. The silk hosiery mill shut down by the 1960s, and, most unfortunately, it was demolished. It would be an extraordinary addition to the adaptive reuse landscape of downtown Durham today.
