Goodwill Shoe Company Factory, 26-28 Water St Holliston, Middlesex County, MA
This is a landmark example of a large shoe factory built at the peak of shoe industry production, for the manufacture of heavy footware for farmers and sportsmen. The two wood-frame buildings are located on either side of Water Street, and were originally connected by a second-story bridge above the street. The building on the east side of the street is 4 stories high with a slate-roofed tower and is approximately 190 feet long; the building to the west is three stories in height and approximately 100 feet in length. Both still show their original clapboards and 6/6 sashes. Fenestration is characterized by bands of closely spaced, double hung, sash windows reaching the length of the facades.
