- Q16957978 abstract "In the early 20th century, the US mill industry began recruiting weavers from Southern Mediterranean countries skilled in patterns new to American consumers. Many men from Albania and Turkey left their homelands to work the mills of Southern Maine.The Pepperell Counting House was a factory in Biddeford, Maine that is thought have served as a mosque for early Albanian immigrants to the New England mill industry around 1900. Turks also came to southern Maine around this time period, many of them settling around the York Manufacturing Company in nearby Saco, Maine. They came to Maine, as most immigrants did, that is without much money and with little earning power. They are believed to have lived on campus at the mills and rarely ventured off. By 1915, it is believed that a large enough community of men came to Pepperell Counting House that formation of an early mosque occurred. However, it is believed that the Spanish Flu swept through the area with the returning US soldiers in 1918, killing many of the towns inhabitants, including many of the Muslims.".
