Property Highlights

Property history includes knitting mills, a planing mill, an ice factory, a flouring mill, and a foundry. Potential concerns identified on Sanborn Maps include a chemical laboratory, several gasoline USTs, oil houses, dyestuff storage, boiler rooms, and bleach storage. In addition, coal and coke was used as fuel in a number of the on-site buildings. Potential impacts may include metals from the foundry, volatile organic compounds from the gasoline tanks and dyes, and semi-volatile organic compounds from oils and coals utilized at the site.

Former Use: Old Hickory Mill purchased the northern portion of the property from Elliott Knitting Mills in 2006. The site was developed prior to 1885 with a portion of the Hickory Roller Mills facility and included a planing mill and a sawmill building. Hickory Roller Mills used the property until the late 1890s. In the early 1900s an ice factory, flouring mill, and the Piedmont Foundry and Machine Company occupied the western portion of the site. The Piedmont Foundry and Machine Company was comprised of a machine shop, a pattern shop, a coke and shavings storage building, and an iron scrap yard. Piedmont Foundry and Machine Company occupied the site until the late 1960s but changes in notations on Sanborn map suggest they did not store coke and shavings or keep an iron scrap yard past the 1920s. Elliott Knitting Mills first occupied the site in the early 1910s and used the eastern portion of the property for dyeing, boarding, knitting, and finishing. Catawba Creamery Company used a small portion of the Elliott Knitting Mills warehouse until the late 1910s. Elliott Knitting Mills occupied the site until the late 1990s and used the facility for the same operations mentioned previously, but with the addition of a chemical laboratory, a boiler room, and a service tank supplied by a hand dug water supply well. The property is currently undeveloped land.
