Duplexes

-A A +A
1910–1913. 112–134 Waterman Ave.

This mostly well-preserved row of clapboard mill duplexes with porches the length of their fronts was built by the Benn company. They contrast with most of the company's housing and, because of their special character and relative spaciousness, may have been overseers' houses, or possibly intended for very skilled workers.
