In 1960, the Argonne Worsted Company relocated to the village of Manville, in Lincoln, RI. In 1967, the Lafayette Worsted Spinning Company closed.

The complex was utilized by a number of concerns after 1967, its most prominent occupants being Miller Electric and ACS (American Copper Sponge Co.) Industries.
