Text of Marker:
Built in 1800 by Charles Barrett, as
a residence for his son, Charles Jr.,
"Forest Hall" as it was known, pays
tribute to the Barrett family and
to the 19th century textile industry.
The Barrett textile mills, located
in Bank Village, produced cotton
fabric for domestic and export
usage. This house demonstrates fine
federal architecture and testifies
to the skill of the local craftsmen.
