"The early-twentieth century saw the construction of numerous warehouses and industrial facilities on the periphery of the public square area. Similar to the commercial buildings surrounding the public square, these warehouses served multiple purposes over the years. A former building located at 102 Mill Street was constructed as a warehouse in 1900, and was used by the federal government in World War I as a storage for medical supplies. The present parcel contains a later, mid-20th century warehouse. ... The majority of these industrial buildings are still extant today, due to their adaptability to a variety of purposes.
