The Johnson Manufacturing Company is a historic mill complex at 65 Brown Street in North Adams, Massachusetts. The site was used for the production of textiles from its initial construction in 1872 until 1937, when it was sold to the Sprague Electric Company. The Johnson Company was founded in 1850 by Sylvander Johnson, Nathaniel Hathaway, and Peter Blackinton. They purchased an existing mill building, producing textiles until 1871, when, after achieving record profits, they decided to expand the business. They retained architect Marcus F. Cummings, who designed the Italianate style buildings, built in 1872, that now stand on the site. In addition to the main mill building, the complex includes an office building built in 1880.[2] The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
