Subject Information	As one of Canada's best-preserved examples of a 19th-century mill town, Marysville, just 10 kilometres from the centre of Fredericton, was designated a National Heritage District by the Monuments and Historic Sites Board of Canada. Marysville, now a part of Fredericton, is dominated by a big brick cotton mill (Marysville Place). Its streets are lined with rows of brick workers' tenements, elegant managers' homes, stores, and churches. Here, nineteenth century industrial and social structures come to life. The Cotton Mill, as it is still affectionately known, was designated a National Historic Site in 1986. The Government of New Brunswick bought the building in the 1980's and upgraded it for office use. In 1985, it was designated Marysville Place and became the workplace for some 400 provincial government employees, most of whom work in the Dept. of Supply and Services and the Dept. of Environment and Local Government.
