Industry
Two foundries were located in Avonmore in the last decade of the nineteenth century. They were later consolidated into The National Roll and Foundry Company, with facilities situated on a terrace along Railroad Avenue above the Kiskiminetas River. The foundry employed 216 people by 1947.[10] Later known as Akers National Roll, it closed in 2019, at which time it employed 119 people. The closure adversely impacted Avonmore, since its four bars, a small store, a Dollar General discount store and four churches all relied on millworkers to survive.[11][12][1]
