Chalmers Knitting Mills

Chalmers Knitting Mills, a historic factory in Amsterdam, New York, was established in 1913 and expanded in 1916, featuring a unique L-shaped design with a four-story brick section and a seven-story steel frame addition. Known for producing undergarments, the mill operated until 1959 and was recognized for its historical significance by being added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. Despite its historical value, the factory was demolished in 2011 following a $1.4 million state grant for restoration and a $1.9 million cleanup for environmental contamination.
