Gambrill Mill
The mill provided shelter for its owner and Union wounded during the Battle of Monocacy. It survived the postwar yeras and was acquired by the National Park Service. The mill building served as the Visitor Center for the National Battlefield Park until 2007.
Mill owner James H. Gambrill used his wits to survive the turmoil. A Southern sympathizer, he sold flour to Northern troops as they set up their line of defense on his land. During the battle he took refuge inside the mill with Samuel S. Thomas and two friends who had escaped their four-day impressment in the Union army. The Federals turned the mill into a makeshift field hospital even though it was under near-constant fire. When the fighting ended, the four men emerged from their hiding place under the waterwheel. Gambrill and his mill had survived the Battle of Monocacy.
The neat, well-appointed mill was up-to-the-minute, and its output was greatly appreciated in the homes of a considerable radius. It was pleasure to accompany the big wagon team…to Gambrill’s.”

Quarry Bank Mill (also known as Styal Mill) in Styal, Cheshire, England, is one of the best preserved textile factories of the Industrial Revolution. Built in 1784, the cotton mill is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. Quarry Bank Mill was established by Samuel Greg, and was notable for innovations both in machinery and also in its approach to labour relations, the latter largely as a result of the work of Greg's wife, Hannah Lightbody. The family took a somewhat paternalistic attitude toward the workers, providing medical care for all and limited education to the children, but all laboured roughly 72 hours per week until 1847 when a new law shortened the hours

O'Connor in charge of six glasscutters and engravers who worked with one frame. lie remained in charge until 1890 when he opened his own cut glass business. Eventually Mr. Dorflinger hired experienced glasscutters from Sweden. France, Ireland and England.
In 1883 this 3-story native stone building became the second cutting shop for Dorflinger Glass Company. It is approximately 160 ft. long and 35 ft. wide. The first and second floors are at ground level because it is situated on a side hill, and both have brick arched ceilings.
