Perry Knitting Co.
Description
An account of the resource
This collection gathers documents for a Perry Knitting Co. exhibit on OpenValley. They are drawn from from three main sources.<br /><br />First, the Clark Rice Photography Collection at the Perry, NY Public Library. Rice was a prolific photographer in Western New York throughout the mid-20th century. This collection includes scans of his work, and copies of images from the turn of the century photographer Merrium Crocker, whose studio Rice purchased. <br /><br />Secondly, the Henry Page Local History Files. Page was president of First National Bank of Perry, and a local historian associated with the public library for nearly five decades. His uncle, William, had helped secure funding from the Carnegie Corporation for its establishment in 1900 and construction in 1914. The Page collection contains various historical materials and photographs accumulated by him over the years.<br /><br />Thirdly, we draw upon various public domain texts, such as maps from the Library of Congress or <a href="http://perrypubliclibrary.advantage-preservation.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">digitized articles from local newspapers</a>. All images here are selections from these collections, chosen for their relevance to OpenValley project. We gratefully acknowledge the generosity of the Perry Public Library and its Director, Jessica Pacciotti.

Title
A name given to the resource
Perry Knitting Co. Mill #1
Description
An account of the resource
According to the Rice Collection annotation, this is "Perry Knitting Mill from an early plate, 1880." That pre-dates the operation, but it does seem as though we're looking at the original Mill #1 building at an early date, prior to construction of Mill #2 in 1893. Downstream along the Silver Lake Outlet, at the right side of the photograph, is J.B. Hutton's Custom Cataract Mill. This latter building was demolished shortly after 1900.
The photograph here appears to have been lightly retouched. Also available is Rice Collection #5822, an unretouched version of the same image.

Perry Knitting Co. Mill #1
Description
An account of the resource
From the annotated description: "Print showing the Perry Knitting Mill that Clark notes as being Mill # 1, water powered, date taken unknown."
The building in the background, Cataract Custom Mill, was located just downstream from Mill #1 and suggests that the photograph pre-dates 1900-1905, when the latter structure was demolished.
