2009- "The Beaver Dam Cotton Mill was constructed in 1881 by local agriculturalist and industrialist John Samuel Rowell with a later addition constructed in 1930. The original portion of the mill is composed of two sections: a small one-story building with tall multi-pane windows, and a three-story building with large windows on the first two stories and mostly bricked-in windows on the third story. The 1930 addition projects to the west and consists of the three story building and a lower one-story building. The entire complex is clad in varieties of red brick, and the three-story portion of the 1881 block has a partially exposed stone basement."
