Frequently Asked Questions
When was the historic building The Loom Room Retreat occupies built?
The Loom Room Retreat is housed in a remarkable piece of Dalton’s industrial heritage — the former Crown Cotton Mill. While the mill was originally established in 1885, the specific structure now home to The Loom Room Retreat was constructed in 1899. This one-story, 42,000-square-foot weaving room and storage shed represented a significant departure from the traditional three-story cotton mill design, favoring an open, high-ceilinged space that allowed for better airflow and lighting — ideal conditions for weaving. Remarkably, the bricks used in construction were handmade on site, and the timber was sourced from local forests.
By the early 20th century, Crown Mill had become Dalton’s largest employer and the cornerstone of its economy. In addition to providing jobs, the mill operated as a self-sustaining community with rental housing, a company store, a school, life insurance, a savings plan, a burial association, a baseball team, and even a concert band. The mill produced a heavy duck fabric — a durable, canvas-like material — that was in high demand across various industries. This thriving industrial foundation helped lay the groundwork for Dalton’s evolution into the Flooring Capital of the World.
