Sagamore Mill No. 2 is an historic textile mill located at 1822 N. Main Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. Built in 1881, it is the oldest surviving mill of three built by the Sagamore Mill Company, one of Fall River's largest textile operations. The mill complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
Sagamore Mill No. 2 is located in northern Fall River, on the west side of North Main Street at its junction with Cove Street. The complex consists of a large main mill building and a number of smaller, all built out of granite quarried in nearby Assonet. The main mill is 300 feet (91 m) long and 90 feet (27 m) wide, and is covered by a shallow-pitch gable roof with bracketed cornice. Its exterior, and that of the ancillary buildings, is rusticated granite without significant further style. Attached to the west side of the mill near the center of the long facade are a series of secondary buildings, including boiler and engine houses, a picker house, and a waste house. Near its southern end is a single-story card house. Detached from the mill and just to its north is the two-story office building.[2]
