John & James Dobson Carpet Mill (West Parcel), Building No. 11, 4041-4055 Ridge Avenue, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, PA
Summary
Significance: Building 11 is significant as it reflects the tremendous growth and expansion of the Dobsons' Mill in the late 19th century. Its major addition in the early 20th century serves as a document to the change in masonry construction techniques at this time and to the practice of expanding earlier mill buildings to meet modern standards and requirements.
