| Constructed in 1897-98, the Corinth Clothing Manufacturing Company Building (later known as the Adams Machinery Company Building, the Berry Motors Building, and the Chadco Building), is architecturally significant as one of Mississippi's few industrial or mill buildings surviving from before about 1905. These buildings were typically long, fairly narrow brick buildings of two or three stories. The form was most widely used from the 1880s into the first few years of the twentieth century, and the Corinth Clothing Manufacturing Company Building, despite some changes, is a good example of this increasingly rare building type. Other surviving examples in Mississippi include the Irwin Manufacturing Company Building in New Albany, the Tupelo Cotton Mill (1901), the J.M. Stone Cotton Mill in Starkville (1902), and the Stonewall Cotton Mills (1880s-1895). Non-extant examples include the Corinth Machinery Building (built in 1869), Tombigbee Cotton Mill in Columbus, the Laurel Cotton Mill, the Rosalie and Natchez Cotton Mills in Natchez, and the Mississippi Mills in Wesson. This building was listed on the National Register on 17 November 2004. It was designated a Mississippi Landmark on 8 February 2001. The Corinth Clothing Manufacturing Company Building is included in “Buildings of Mississippi” (2020) (p.163, NE8). (R.C., 2021) |
