We've Moved! 02/13/2012 Museum Textile Services has a new studio! After an exhaustive three-week effort of painting, cleaning, and moving, the new facility opened for business on January 16, 2012. In its previous life, our new location was Wool Storage Building A of the Ballard Vale Mills. It was constructed in 1878 of brick with a slate roof, and was renovated/restored in 1994.
White Flannels, worn with a blazer.
The Ballard Vale Mills produced "white flannels," a term originally given to clothing worn while playing cricket but later generalized to mean casual men’s pants of the 1880's.
Attic space with remains of the rope hoist.
