Note:
Raleigh was late in joining the cotton mill bandwagon but did have a few relatively modest mills alongside the rail lines. The Raleigh Cotton Mills was founded by local investors to card and spin cotton yarn for hosiery. It is a typical mill of its era, with arched openings and corner towers, now repurposed for residential use.
