The Bernon Worsted Mill was built in 1919. The mill was known for its high quality made-to-order worsted yarn used in fine-weave French worsted processes which took place in other mills around the city. After the mill closed it sat vacant for many years. Beginning in 2005 it was converted to condominiums.
