Godwin Mill, Boiler & Engine House, Mill & Market Streets, Paterson, Passaic County, NJ
Summary
Significance: First leased in 1822, the Godwin Mill Lot housed one of the first large cotton spinning operations in Paterson. The Mill remained in operation until 1848, when it was destroyed by fire. Nine years later, Abraham Godwin and John T. Spear constructed a new building on the ruins of the old mill. The Mill was acquired by Robert Hamil and James Booth in 1872. In the early twentieth century, the lot changed hands several times, reverting to the SUM in 1932.
