Regarding Phoenix Knitting Works. In 1902, architects Uehling and Linde designed the Phoenix Knitting Works building in the Romanesque Revival style. This was one of six plants that housed the very productive hosiery company. Beck Carton Corp. manufactured and shipped paper boxes from 1959 to 2007. Restoration of the building was completed in 1994. The building was purchased and renovated by architects LaMacchia Group in 2007.
