The Reed and Barton Complex is an historic industrial complex at West Brittania and Danforth Streets in Taunton, Massachusetts. It is the site of one of Taunton's first industries, now known as Reed & Barton, a privately held silversmithing business that has been in operation since 1824. Henry Reed and Charles Barton moved their business to this site straddling the Mill River in 1830. The complex includes eight large 19th century brick buildings, the oldest of which went into operation in 1834. It also includes two surviving instances of mill worker housing, which were built on the mill property c. 1855.[2]
The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
