13. Paragraph Briefly Summarizing Known History Of The Property. The one-story home with Craftsman details was built during the post World War I expansion of the mill village, were originally occupied by the mill’s foremen. These domiciles were representative of the mail-order housing market which had a tremendous influence in the mill villages and suburbs in the 1910s and 1920s. Earle Draper, designer of the mill village, ordered plans and materials from a company in Charleston, South Carolina called “Quick-bill Bungalows.”[1] In 1946, The Dover Yarn Mill sold the mill to Cone Mills. The new company built additions to the mill, which included a new weave room. In addition, they renovated the mill village by adding bathrooms and asbestos shingles to the homes. Eventually, Cone Mills ceased their rental business and initially offered to sell the domiciles to the employees. The new owners continued to make improvements to the homes.
