Pocasset Manufacturing was located on the banks of the Quequechan River in Fall River, Massachusetts. It was organized by Nathaniel Briggs Borden in 1921 and Oliver Chace. The Pocasset Manufacturing Company was incorporated in 1822 with Abraham Bowen one of the original stock holders. The mill was built by Lloyd Slade Earle. On February 2, 1928, a fire broke out in the abandoned mill of the Pocasset Manufacturing Co. Five city blocks were completely wiped out. Four banks, three theatres, three hotels, two newspaper plants, twelve office buildings, a Jewish Temple and a half dozen lunch rooms were hotbeds of rubbish. Total damage was estimated at $20,000,000." Strangely enough, no one was killed; only a few suffered serious injuries. But 3,000 people were thrown out of work in a city population of 150,000. The National Board of Fire Underwriters took a year and a month to compute 1926 fire losses of $561,980,751 for the U. S., the greatest fire damage ever suffered by any country in any year.
