    • The listing says is the only two-floor unit in the building.
    • Part of the building dates to the 1890s. It was originally a tobacco-industry building known as the R. Roberts Leaf Tobacco House.
  • NRHP nomination: “Renfro Mill — initially the R. Roberts Leaf Tobacco House — is an excellent surviving example of the form of building typically used by the tobacco industry in Piedmont North Carolina for both factories and leaf houses during the late nineteenth century. These buildings, becoming increasingly rare, tend to be three-to-five story rectangular brick structures with stepped parapet gable ends, segmental-arched windows, and often decorative brickwork on the facade.
    • Renfro Mill is also a prime example of the adaptation of a building from one industrial use to another. When small tobacco companies failed during the first two decades of the twentieth century because they could not compete with the big tobacco conglomerates, many of their buildings were taken over by other burgeoning industries. These buildings offered both good space and quality construction. In 1921 Renfro Mill, a new sock-making company, took over the former tobacco leaf house whose large open spaces served well the manufacturing needs of the company.
    • “Shortly after World War II, Renfro’s success demanded that it greatly expand its space. The additions to the original factory, still intact, specifically addressed the needs of the manufacturing processes used in the apparel industry. Renfro occupied its Willow Street plant until 1997. The Renfro company has been significant in the local economy for much of the twentieth century. When Renfro began manufacturing socks in 1921, it was the first real hosiery operation in Mount Airy.
    • “By the late 1990s, Renfro had become the nations’s largest sock manufacturer. Today, Mount Airy is a sock manufacturing center and the apparel industry as a whole is the largest branch of industry in town. Renfro Mill’s period of significance extends from ca. 1893 to 1947. It encompasses the building’s ca. 1893 date of construction as a tobacco leaf house, the date (1921) when the Renfro company, a sock manufacturer, purchased the building, and the date (1946-47) when the building was more than doubled in size so that all the company’s sock manufacturing processes could be consolidated in one location.”

    • Part of the building dates to the 1890s. It was originally a tobacco-industry building known as the R. Roberts Leaf Tobacco House.
  • NRHP nomination: “Renfro Mill — initially the R. Roberts Leaf Tobacco House — is an excellent surviving example of the form of building typically used by the tobacco industry in Piedmont North Carolina for both factories and leaf houses during the late nineteenth century. These buildings, becoming increasingly rare, tend to be three-to-five story rectangular brick structures with stepped parapet gable ends, segmental-arched windows, and often decorative brickwork on the facade.
    • Renfro Mill is also a prime example of the adaptation of a building from one industrial use to another. When small tobacco companies failed during the first two decades of the twentieth century because they could not compete with the big tobacco conglomerates, many of their buildings were taken over by other burgeoning industries. These buildings offered both good space and quality construction. In 1921 Renfro Mill, a new sock-making company, took over the former tobacco leaf house whose large open spaces served well the manufacturing needs of the company.
    • “Shortly after World War II, Renfro’s success demanded that it greatly expand its space. The additions to the original factory, still intact, specifically addressed the needs of the manufacturing processes used in the apparel industry. Renfro occupied its Willow Street plant until 1997. The Renfro company has been significant in the local economy for much of the twentieth century. When Renfro began manufacturing socks in 1921, it was the first real hosiery operation in Mount Airy.
    • “By the late 1990s, Renfro had become the nations’s largest sock manufacturer. Today, Mount Airy is a sock manufacturing center and the apparel industry as a whole is the largest branch of industry in town. Renfro Mill’s period of significance extends from ca. 1893 to 1947. It encompasses the building’s ca. 1893 date of construction as a tobacco leaf house, the date (1921) when the Renfro company, a sock manufacturer, purchased the building, and the date (1946-47) when the building was more than doubled in size so that all the company’s sock manufacturing processes could be consolidated in one location.”

    Spencer’s’ union suits. In Mount Airy, on July 8, 1926, the young Crossingham joined with W.E. Lindsey, John Banner, and F.L. Hatcher in establishing the Mount Airy Knitting Company. … J.H. Crossingham Jr. later became president, chairman of the board, and chief operating officer.
    • “Although the company initially manufactured union suits and other forms of underwear, this use evolved in the late 1940s. Seeing the opportunity presented by the baby boom after World War II, the company began to produce, almost exclusively, infants’ and children’s wear.
    • “In 1962, the company changed its name to Spencer’s Incorporated of Mount Airy, N.C., in honor of the ‘Dr. Spencer’s’ underwear the company had produced in its early days. For more than three quarters of a century, it prospered, with numerous expansions … until it became one of the largest and most respected producers of infants’ and children’s wear in the United States. The company that started in 1926 with only twelve employees grew to have some 2,000 employees, in Surry County alone, by the late 1980s. It closed in 2007.”
