Jenckes Mansion - Woonsocket, Rhode Island - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The Jenckes Mansion is the best preserved building in the original Jenckesville mill village, one of six early nineteenth-century industrial hamlets that grew to form Woonsocket. The brothers--Job, Luke, and Moses--began their village on the Peters River in 1822 when they built Woonsocket's first stone, textile mill. In 1828 they expanded their operation considerably, building a secon mill and the mansion house. By the 1850s the village included a number of other buildings, mostly to house the Jenckeses' work force... The Jenckes Mansion is a fine example of a family-owned industrial community." - Woonsocket MRA NRHP document pg. 117.
