City Directories and History: This was located at what became known as Startex – Tuckapau Mills….The mill village store was an important commercial aspect of the mill’s economic success and provided credit for workers at the mill.
*** R&R Note: Did Startex and Whitney Mills operate in other locations besides the Startex Community? Clarification would be most appreciated.
The Whitney Mill store was constructed in ca. 1890 at the same time the image was taken, ca. 1895. Courtesy of the Meek Collection – 2016
