Cotton mill, commercial features. A text-book for the use of textile schools and investors
A technical and commercial text-book on cotton mill building and finance, written and self-published in 1899 by Charlotte, North Carolina engineer Daniel Augustus Tompkins for textile schools and mill investors. Halftone photographs and rendered elevations show long brick mills with grids of windows, cottages and operatives' housing set among trees, water towers and yards, alongside plans and machinery diagrams useful for industrial-architecture silhouettes, window-grid patterns and Southern mill-village views.
