The Campbell Machine Company, established in 1880, was a pioneering manufacturer known for producing innovative sewing machines, including the first lock-stitch machine capable of using waxed thread at a rapid rate of 400 stitches per minute. Their products were widely utilized by harness and shoe manufacturers, leading to the company's expansion with a branch office in England.
Located in Pawtucket, RI, the Campbell Machine Shop, constructed in 1888-1889, served as the company's main production facility for decades. This historic 5-story brick building, now transformed into Bayley Street Loft Condominiums, stands as a testament to the company's legacy of innovation and industrial craftsmanship.
