Additional Property Attributes

These original mills constructed on the Site operated until they were destroyed in The Great Fire of 1903, which started in the H. H. Wood & Co. Oriental Hosiery Mill. Due to the fact that the Laconia Electric Light Company supplied water pressure to the town at the time, firemen were unable to extinguish the fire when the hydro-electric power plant burned. One year after the fire, the H.H. Wood & Company Oriental Hosiery Mill, the Boulia Gorrell & Company mill and the power generation plant were reconstructed. Historical sources indicate that in 1911, the Laconia Electric Light Company structure was used as a transformer house only and the Site continued to be developed and expanded by the Boulia Gorrell Lumber Company until approximately 1948. Historical sources suggest the large mill building along the water again burned down between 1948 and 1976 and the four current Site buildings were constructed between 1948 and 1976 when the Site was occupied by the Laconia Industrial Development Corporation. In 1976, the Laconia Industrial Development Corporation utilized the Site for textile production in the lower building and the two-story building, a meat distributer in the Retail Store, and a copper heating coil manufacturer in the Madeira office and warehouse building.

Former Use: The 5.31-acre Site was first developed by Nathan Batchelder who constructed a woolen mill in the mid-1800s that was subsequently destroyed by fire in 1885. In its place, the Union Lace Mill, the H. H. Wood & Co. Oriental Hosiery Mill, and the Riverside Grist Mill were constructed by 1887. In 1892, the W.M. Clow & Son Hosiery Mill took the place of the Union Lace Mill on the western portion of the Site. By 1897, the Boulia Gorrell & Company Sash & Blind Factory was constructed on the eastern portion of the Site. The Laconia Electric Light Company, which generated electricity, was also constructed on the eastern most portion of the Site east of the grist mill. By 1902, the W.M. Clow & Son Hosiery was closed and the building was used for storage by Boulia Gorrell & Company. In addition, the main mill buildings, several dye houses and coal sheds were still present throughout the Site. These mills and the power generation plant utilized a canal running from the present day Lakeport Dam, parallel to the present lake shore.
