The Rising Paper Mill is a historic factory at 295 Park Street North, in the Housatonic village of Great Barrington, Massachusetts.
The corners are finished with rusticated granite quoining, and there are bands of decorative Greek crosses below the eaves.
The buildings are built with exceptionally strong foundations, needed for the heavy machinery used in the papermaking process.
The design of the building placed the key Foudrinier machines in the hyphen joining the two main structures, one of which was devoted to the preparation of materials, and the other to finishing the paper.
[3] The mill was not entirely finished by Cone, who went bankrupt soon after its construction due to a variety financial reverses.
