Description: Dallas Mill, before the addition. Chartered by Trevanion B. Dallas of Nashville, Dallas Mills began operation in 1892 as Alabama's largest cotton mill and mainly produced cotton sheeting through dying and bleaching cotton and woolen goods. The mill village extended from Oakwood Ave. south to Dallas St. Employees, often called "lint heads" were provided homes, medical care, churches, library, lodge building, YMCA, concerts, a kindergarten and schools. The mill closed in 1949 and the village was incorporated into the city of Huntsville in 1955. One of the outstanding architectural features of the building was a spiral fire escape. Fortunately, when the building burned down on July 24, 1991, it was unoccupied.
