Durham Hosiery Mill No. 6 - Cotton Warehouse

06.25.13

This cotton warehouse, with brick end walls and pilasters, later infilled with concrete block between pilasters, is the last remaining building of the destroyed Durham Hosiery Mills No. 6 complex that sat across Henderson Street. It was originally built ~1916, per the Durham County tax records.

Note "Edge of Brick Building" on lot #11.

Originally the building had an open loggia, seen above, on the north side, which has since been infilled with concrete block. The southern facade is a bit of a mystery, as it was clearly replaced with concrete block at some later date.
