Brigham Mill
Bring a little Northborough home.
Slate Desk Plaque · 11 × 7 inches
A desk holds the things you need for work; there can be room for a local picture beside them too. Brigham Mill sits beside Howard Brook in Northborough, with the smaller waterway helping give this rustic workplace its particular setting.
The rustic Brigham Mill stood on Howard Brook, an Assabet tributary in Northborough. The historical photograph records the mill beside that smaller waterway. Brook and building belong together in this view, placing a particular local workplace within the valley's wider network of water and industry.
The mill and brook connect Northborough with the valley's tributaries, a useful reminder that local industrial landscapes extend beyond the main river. It can sit among a few favorite books, giving the shelf a particular local subject as well as something to read.
