Ann § Hope Mill (1886): Designed by Frank Sheldon, the Providence mill architect, the Ann & Hope is a long, four-story brick textile mill, with double-hung, six-over-six sash set under segmental arches and above granite sills. The main building is 498 feet long, with a bracketed cornice and flat roof; a flat-roofed bracketed tower projects from the center of the west facade. In 1901, a 2-story addition with a matching tower was constructed on the mill's south end. Both sections are now fronted with one-story, cinder-block and corrugated metal additions along the west facade. The mill, centerpiece of the Lonsdale Company's plant in Cumberland, was one of the nation's largest textile factories when built. It now houses a discount store, a food market, and warehouse operations.
