The first American mill to carry on the processes of spinning and weaving under a single roof was located in <u>Waltham, Massachusetts.</u>
<u></u>
The Waltham Mill was the first mill in the United States that served the purpose of processing raw cotton into finished cloth in one process and this all was done under one roof with the help of the water-driven power loom that the mill had. This was the apparatus used to weave yarn or thread into finished cloth.
Francis Cabot Lowell was the one who build this Lowell system, which came as a labor production model. He built it in Massachusetts in the nineteenth century.
