Sagamore Mills No. 1 and No. 3 are two historic textile mills on Ace Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. Built in 1888 and 1908, they form part of one of the city's single largest textile operations of the late 19th century. Mills No. 1 and 3 were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, with a separate listing for Mill No. 2, located nearby on North Main Street.[1]
The Sagamore Mills No. 1 and No. 3 are located in northern Fall River, on a property now separated from the Taunton River by Massachusetts Route 79. The two mills are located on either side of Ace Street in an industrial setting west of North Main Street. Mill No. 1 is a four-story brick structure with Romanesque styling, including segmented-arch windows and a distinctive central tower. Mill No. 3 is built out of rusticated granite quarried in Assonet and transported here by rail., and is five stories in height. Each building has attached smaller buildings, and there are a number of small detached buildings on the 35-acre (14 ha) parcel. There are more than a dozen additional buildings in all.[2]
