Historical Context
Bourne Mills was incorporated in Massachusetts in June of 1881 and was based in Fall River.
Built for cotton textile manufacturing, the earliest construction consisted of the main building (Building 1) and an east ell (Building 2). Over time, a number of auxiliary buildings were arrayed around the main building. In 1900 the Bourne interests erected one of Rhode Island’s first sawtooth weave sheds to house a huge investment in Northrop automatic looms.
Textile manufacturing was carried out under the Bourne name until 1953, when Berkshire-Hathaway purchased the mill, operating it until 1961 for similar purposes. In 1961, Berkshire-Hathaway sold the plant, at which time it was leased to various tenants. Renamed the Tiverton Industrial Park in 1982, the plant is now used for commercial storage and is mostly vacant.
