Windsor Print Works is a historic site at 121 Union Street in North Adams, Massachusetts, which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973.
Founded by Caleb Turner in 1829, the Windsor Print Works was the first in Western Massachusetts. The plant was taken over by the Consolidated Textile Company during the 1920s, until the company closed in 1956 due to foreign competition. In 1960 the main building was purchased by Stanley Shapiro, and was used mostly for storage. When the Economic Development Corporation of North Berkshire took it over in 1973, it was converted into a center for arts and crafts. North Adams took the building over in the 1980s. Currently, the Windsor Print Works is used for light manufacturing and arts-related businesses, including galleries.

Famous quotes containing the words print and/or works:
“The Anglo-American can indeed cut down, and grub up all this waving forest, and make a stump speech, and vote for Buchanan on its ruins, but he cannot converse with the spirit of the tree he fells, he cannot read the poetry and mythology which retire as he advances. He ignorantly erases mythological tablets in order to print his handbills and town-meeting warrants on them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, these see the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep.”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalms 107:23-24.
