In 1854, Edward H. Sprague deeded the Globe Mill property to B. R. Vaughan and George C. Ballou. Ten years later, George Ballou became the sole owner. It was under his direction that the Globe property was improved until it was one of the finest in the state. In 1877, the Globe and Social Mills consolidated under the Social Manufacturing Company.
