American Woolen Company Shawsheen Mills
In 1842 John Dove, Peter Smith and John Smith bought the vacant mill buildings and began producing linen, twine, and sail cloth. Smith and Dove was bought by the Ludlow Sales Corporation in 1n 1828. In 1930 Ludlow Sales failed.
Most of the buildings have been replaced by newer structures, except the 1814 structure built by the Abbots.
No map of the location of all the mills in Andover is available, although some are noted on the 1830 map of the Andovers.
See
