Across Pittsfield, the buildings that once employed thousands of workers and turned the city into an industrial center can still be found. They are in varying degrees of condition. Some have been restored and adapted for different uses, almost new; others lie in near original condition, with few changes, and perhaps a little neglected; still others may have only one or two buildings left of a complex that once included dozens of structures.

Where was the Berkshire Coat Factory?

Sorry for the delay in responding; first I heard of the coat factory. It appears that it was in Morningside, on Oak Street, not far from Silver Lake.

Across RR tracks, prob. those near the industrial manufacturing area of GE, isolated, non-commercial area. Used to go there in the early 60s as a girl – loved their clothing, led to me being named ”best-dressed” @ Pittsfield High in ’64…

Apparently my family was involved with Berkshire woolen mill I think on Pex road?

You’re right. The Berkshire Woolen Mill was the successor to Pecks Upper Mill.
