Patchogue Village lost to an engulfing
fire part of the Lace Mill on West Main
Street, a famous landmark since being
built there in 1902 on the site of an old
paper mill that went back to 1798. The
paper mill itself succumbed to fire in 1850.
Owned by the Island Industrial
Park, a group of Patchogue and local
businessmen, it was one of the area’s
largest employers of labor, about 800 at
the time, and the second-largest taxpayer
in the incorporated village. The loss of a
structure that gave employment to many
local people would be an important one
to the community.
