OLD SCHWAMB MILL

The 'Old Schwamb Mill' is a well-preserved 19th-century woodworking factory located at 17 Mill Lane, Arlington, Massachusetts.
The mill was built in 1861, and purchased by brothers Charles and Frederick Schwamb in 1864 for the manufacture of circular and elliptical picture frames. It remained within the family's ownership and continued to operate, more or less unchanged in both equipment and processes, until 1969. Two wings were added during this time, however: one by 1881, and the other between that date and 1898.
The mill still contains operational equipment and four preserved power systems.
