Regarding Mount Pleasant Mercantile/Mount Pleasant Hosiery Mill. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
Mount Pleasant Hosiery Mill, 102 North Main Street, 1921 Former two-story brick commercial building converted to a mill. Stricted brick pilasters separate former story bays. A pressed metal cornice rests directly above the first floor. Pilasters strips, on the second story, rise to a corbeled cornice. There are two windows between each pilaster, which correspond to a storefront bay corbeling above the second story window. A plain frieze rests directly above second story windows and is followed by a corbeled cornice that wraps around the building. Two bays face North Main Street and three face Franklin Street.
The Mercantile General Store was built and opened at the corner in 1912. Two decades later, the building was converted into the hosiery mill, which operated until 2009. The building was renovated in 2017 and now houses a restaurant and microbrewery.
