[1] The former White Company Mill complex is located on the south side of North Bennington, on the west bank of Paran Brook above its mouth at the Walloomsac River.
[2] Hawley C. White was a North Bennington native who learned the trade of grinding optical lenses in New York City.
In 1899 White expanded his business to include the production of stereoscopic images, sending photographers out to take pictures of the wonders of man and nature across the world.
In the 1910s, seeking a new market, White embarked on the manufacture of wooden children's furniture and the highly popular Kiddie-Kar, a three-wheeled scooter.
From the late 1970s the buildings served as a small business incubator under the management of Bennington County Industrial Corporation.
