The Pawtuxet Valley Dyeing Company is a historic mill complex at 9 Howard Avenue in the town of Coventry, Rhode Island. The complex includes three buildings: the main mill building and two pump houses, as well as the dam which impounds the Pearce Mill Pond, and the tailrace which evacuates water from the mill into the North Branch Pawtuxet River. The main mill is an irregularly shaped complex of structures, which grew from the original Pearce Brothers Woolen Mill, a two-story rubble-stone structure that predates 1859, and has been extended in all directions. Most of the additions were made in the first two decades of the 20th century. The dam, about long, is an earth-fill structure faced in fieldstone and capped in 20th-century concrete, with a modern spillway. The tailrace is a trench lined with cut stone which exits from under the original mill building. The mill was established by Joseph W. Pearce, an English immigrant, and carded and spun wool.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Pawtuxed Valley Dyeing Company )〕 The November 13, 1920 edition of Fibre and Fabric, a trade publication, lists James B. McDowell as president and J.B. Bennett as treasurer and general manager. A brief notice states that the company added a new machine, and is "quite busy with orders". The mill complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.〔 ==See also==
