Silk Mill Condos

The Silk Mill Condos at the corner of Church Street and Barcelow Street were originally opened in 1917 as the Katterman & Mitchell silk mill. The company was started in Paterson, New Jersey by Fred Mitchell and Fred Katterman. Port Jervis has been home to numerous manufacturers throughout its history including bottling plants, cigar factories, a silver plate factory, a saw factory and five silk mills. At this silk mill, dresses, ties and other clothing were made. In 1986, the old K&M silk mill was converted into condominiums.
