WINTER ISSUE 1963 FIVE Warp Preparation - An Art and a Science JOHN C. BODANSKY (Cocker Machine and Foundry Company) In discussing warp precaution as it is today, or may be in the future, it might be helpful to look back into history a short time and see what changes have taken place in both warping and slashing. This might give us a better idea of why we do things the way they are done now. Some of you must remember the days of spool warping. Yarn was wound from the spinning bobbin to a wooden spool having wooden heads. The ma- chine for this was the spooler. The process was slow and tiresome. It required considerable help (usually women), and the package produced was anything but satisfactory. The spools usually held less than a pound of yarn, and were of uneven lengths and poor- ly wound. Slub catchers were unknown and little or no attempt was made to control the quality of the yarn on the finished spools. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES John C. Bodansky was born in Narbeth, Pennsylvania, on This process of required an enormous number March 16, 1907.

  • Creative Uses for Repurposed Historic Textile Mills a Case Study of Revolution Textile Mill, Greensboro N.C
    Creative Uses for Repurposed Historic Textile Mills A Case Study of Revolution Textile Mill, Greensboro N.C by Emma Kathleen Schropp A Masters Project submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of City and Regional Planning in the Department of City and Regional Planning Chapel Hill April 3, 2014 Creative Uses for Repurposed Historic Mills: A Case Study of Revolution Textile Mill, Greensboro N.C i Acknowledgements In particular, I must thank Tony Sease, my fearless advisor, for his contributions and encouragement even as I was working down to the wire. His knowledge of and perspective on the field of preservation and redevelopment was invaluable in guiding my writing and pointing me to new resources when I felt I had exhausted everything. I am also grateful to Malcolm White and Jim Overton with Self-Help, and to Eddie Belk of Belk Architecture for providing personal insights and interviews. And to the many people who have offered assistance in documenting this project. ii Abstract While most scholars on the subject of North Carolina industrial history agree on the reasons for its rise and subsequent devastating decline, they offer little insight to the future of the mill buildings that remain as the industry’s physical legacy. Very few sources discuss viable uses for rehabilitating these structures, largely leaving this field to be determined by a market study. This paper explores the adaptive reuse approach of a former textile mill in Greensboro, N.C. The goal is to analyze the approach taken to reactivate the Mill as a meaningful campus within the larger context of the town, with specific regard to Greensboro’s textile history.

  • SUMMARY of NOTICE of INTENT to REDEVELOP a BROWNFIELDS PROPERTY Site Name: Granite Mill Brownfields Project Number: 21043-17-001
    SUMMARY OF NOTICE OF INTENT TO REDEVELOP A BROWNFIELDS PROPERTY Site Name: Granite Mill Brownfields Project Number: 21043-17-001 Pursuant to NCGS § 130A-310.34, Granite Mill, LLC, as Prospective Developer, has filed with the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) a Notice of Intent to Redevelop a Brownfields Property (“Property”) in Alamance County, Haw River, North Carolina. The Brownfields Property comprises three parcels (Tax PIN 153168, 153156, and 171658) totaling about approximately 9.4 acres. The property was listed on the National Registry of Historic Places in 2017 due to the presence of a historic mill building dating back to 1844 on the property. The Prospective Developer is Granite Mill, LLC, which is 100% owned by Granite Mill Investments, LLC of Durham, NC. The Granite Mill was originally constructed by the Trollinger family as their Granite Cotton Factory on the Haw River in 1844. The Mill was a spinning and weaving operation which was referred to as the Granite Puritan Mills, Co., Mill No.1 in 1924. It became part of the Proximity Manufacturing Company between 1927 and in 1948, and by 1931 was known as the Granite Finishing Works. In 1948, the property became part of the Cone Mills Corporation and the operations were finishing corduroy fabric. In 1983 Cone Mills began dyeing and finishing operations for chamois and flat cloth through 1997. The plant was idle from 1997 through 2004, and in November 2004 Cone Mills sold the mill to the Haw River Business Center. The Granite Mill facilities have been used for warehousing and industrial storage from 2004, and are currently not occupied.

  • 1 Lake Jeanette Association, Inc. Known As the Master Homeowners
    Lake Jeanette Association, Inc. Known as the Master Homeowners Association History of the Lake Jeanette Development Caesar and Moses Cone were born in Jonesboro, Tennessee to Bavarian immigrant parents, Herman and Helen Kahn (Cone) – Moses on June 29, 1857 and Caesar on April 22, 1859. From there, the family moved to Baltimore, Maryland where the children were educated in public schools. Father Herman was the proprietor of a wholesale grocery business and made his sons co-partners in 1878. Moses and Caesar established the Cone Export and Commission Company in 1891 with headquarters in New York City. They convinced southern mill owners that marketing textiles was as important as manufacturing and persuaded ninety percent of them to contract with their company. In 1893 they moved their main office to Greensboro, NC. The brothers soon began acquiring land in Guilford County, particularly on the northeast side of Greensboro and in 1895 opened Proximity Mill, their first plant in the Gate City. The name was selected owing to the proximity of the mill to area cotton fields. In 1899 they opened Revolution Mill, then the world’s largest flannel mill. White Oak Mill, constructed between 1902 and 1905, was at the time the largest cotton mill in the South and the largest denim manufacturer in the world. As manufacturing progressed, they realized that their company needed more water than the City of Greensboro could supply. Thus, in 1940, the clearing and digging for the construction of Lake Jeanette began. The lake was named after Jeanette Cone, one of the granddaughters. Lake Jeanette is fed by Richland Creek and other springs, and has always been defined as a “working” lake.
