REFENESTRATE THE FACTORY

140 Windows… 3,000 panes of glass… In the 22 years since the Upper Mill in Franklinville closed, at least half of its ‘window lights’ have been put out, broken by vandals, cracked by heat, the frames and sash exposed to the weather and rotting. As part of its ongoing mill restoration program, the Friends of the Factory are raising funds to rebuild and restore every window and reglaze the black eyes of Randolph County’s oldest manufacturing facility.

You, your family, your employer, your club or civic group can help this happen by donating the funds necessary to restore, install and paint all or part of a factory window. Your tax-deductible gift can be given to honor or recognize the person of your choice, and larger gifts will receive a permanent memorial.

Your gift will also entitle you to membership in the Friends of the Factory, and you will receive our quarterly newsletter containing local history, restoration news and a calendar of events.

  • BUY A WINDOW - $500
  • INSTALLATION AND PAINT - $500
  • BUY A SASH - $250
  • BUY ONE PANE OF GLASS - $ 20

The Friends of the Factory operate through the Randolph Heritage Conservancy, an organization exempt from Federal taxation under section 501 (c )(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
