[Thursday] Wanskuk Mill

[Chris Prata]

The museum of work and culture has that smart table.  stop in and press that mill, and see what info pops up - it goes by era/decade... so as the mill was built, and then changed over time, you can step through that, from first brick until today...

We can look in the Providence Engineering Works card file to see if they worked on the engine.

Drove by the Wanskuk mill on branch ave today and wondered about the steam engine that was or still is in that building. I used to live right up the hill from the mill when I was a kid on Vandewater St. My Mom worked in the Mill for a company, possibly IBM that packaged transistors. I also believe my Grandmother worked in the mill for a textile company. Did a quick google search but found nothing. Who ever bought it a dumped a load of cash into it for apartments and retail space. Completely new windows in the entire place. Do we have any information on it?
