The Wainshal building (Mill No. 2) as it appeared in 1978. It was built in 1853 as part of the Monadnock Mills complex, which closed in 1932. To the left is the two-story Monadnock Mills Wheel and Pump House, built in 1874, which later housed Claremont Water Works. To the right is the one-story Monadnock Mills Weave Shed, built in 1876, which became Shulins Woolen Co. The image comes from “Rehabilitation: Claremont 1978, Planning for Adaptive Use and Energy Conservation in an Historic Mill Village,” issued by the Heritage Conservation and Recreation Services of the U.S. Department of the Interior.
