Powered by electricity and thus unconstrained by the dictates of water power, the mill buildings could spread out on their generous site. Even so, the early Schoolfield mills are not unlike the brick structures that were once at Riverside. Two or three stories high, with symmetrically placed rows of windows set in segmental-arched frames, the mills are still marked by three especially tall smokestacks. Since the company closed, many of the buildings have been demolished.
