Pontiac Mills
Pontiac Mills is a historic textile mill complex on Knight Street in Warwick. The mills produced the original Fruit of the Loom brand of cloth. The mills were built beginning in 1863 by Robert Knight and Benjamin Knight (B.B. & R. Knight Company). The mills produced uniforms for Union soldiers during the American Civil War. In 1920 Webster Knight sold Fruit of the Loom and the Pontiac Mills. The textile industry in New England began declining shortly after this period. The building now sits empty, as it has for a number of years and is falling into a state of ruins. -from Wikipedia
