On May 20, 2016, in the afternoon, a "suspicious" fire broke out in the Weaving Room, quickly becoming a multiple alarm / mutual aid fire, with fire departments from Efland, Mebane, Chapel Hill, New Hope (and perhaps others) responding.

Only part of the exterior wall remains after the destructive fire.
