Note:
It is believed that some portion of the cotton mill designed by Stanford White may remain within the present industrial plant beside the Roanoke River. A small number of “turtle-back” houses have been described as survivals from the mill housing planned by Stanford White, but this is not documented. See Leland M. Roth, “Three Industrial Towns by McKim, Mead & White,” Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians 38, no. 4 (Dec. 1979).
