Knowlton Hat Factory — Upton, Massachusetts Woven Blanket
Home Decor · Artwork / 60" × 50"
Home has a way of finding you in the smallest moments. A crisp fall morning. A blanket by the fire. A brick factory with a mansard tower, ringed in autumn color. This Knowlton Hat Factory blanket brings that feeling home.
William Knowlton began making hats in Upton in 1835, and the factory gained its tower in 1872 and a large rear wing in 1908. Listed on the National Register in 1982, the building was renovated into senior housing in 1985 and remains a landmark of Upton today.
Maybe Upton is where you grew up or where your family put down roots. Keep this 60″ × 50″ woven blanket on the couch, or give it to someone who would smile at the name. A familiar place, a little closer to home.
