We are proud of the diversity this community offers, and the vast examples of magnificent architecture, too. So, just don't visit Canal Place, please visit all the aspects that Little Falls has to offer.
This stone building was erected in 1839, the oldest building in the historic district. Originally known as Stitt & Underhill, the mill produced wool uniform cloth under military contracts during the Mexican-American and Civil Wars. Like the many other mills in Little Falls, water from the Mohawk River was used to power the machinery. This mill was expanded by 1845 to double its size and was used as a textile mill. It has been said that uniforms for the Civil War were made here, and uniforms used in the second World War were embroidered here.
We are located at 410 Canal Place (formerly South Ann Street), Little Falls, New York...Historic Canal Place
