History and architectural features

Bilt in five phases between 1870 and 1925, the three earliest sections were designed in the Italianate style. The complex ranges from one to three-stories, and is constructed of brick and reinforced concrete.

The H.W. Butterworth and Sons Company manufactured textile machinery, and then, during World War II, built anti-aircraft machine gun parts.
