The north end was the Miner Complex, which was demolished in January 2006. Miner Industries was originally responsible for the production of rubber boots. To the south end, is the Carr-Fulflex building, which originaly housed a rubber textiles and tape production outfit. The Carr-Fulflex building was the only structure left. Various sections of the mill were leased out to different companies toward the end of the 1980s, as a result different areas painted and set up differently.  Basic Information Type: Mill Complex Status: Demolished Accessibility: Easy Recommendation: Worth the trip if you like old mills.  Physical Information Address Buttonwood St Bristol, Rhode Island United States Owner: See a map of this location  Hazards asbestos rust unsafe flooring water  Interesting Features Traditional mill architechture.
