History and architectural features

The Graham factory was built between 1885 and 1886, and the Laird, Schober and Mitchell Factory was erected in 1891. Both were heavy timber framed brick buildings.[2]

The John C. Graham company made ladies dresses while the Laird, Schober and Mitchell made shoes.

The buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1] They have since been demolished.
