Sterling Cotton Mill , also known as Franklinton Cotton Mill, is a historic cotton mill complex located at 106 East Green Street in Franklinton, Franklin County, North Carolina. The main factory is a one-and two-story L-shaped brick building with elements of Italian Italian style design. This mill consists of five parts: the first part of the story goes up to the second floor on the east end (1895); two additional floors (1914), additional one story (1960s); pre-1926 "cotton warehouse"; and a small two-storey brick office (1966). Associated with the factory is a separate stack of chimneys. The plant was built by Samuel C. Vann, whose son Aldridge built the Aldridge H. Vann House. The factory closed in 1991.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
