The Twin Stacks building has a rich history in the Back Mountain area dating back to 1947. The factory was originally built by the Birnbaum family as a textile mill known as Natona Mills. At it's peak, the mill employed over 300 people in the Back Mountain producing everything from military camouflage netting for the Korean war to lace for intimate apparel. The plant even produced a fireproof spacesuit for NASA worn by Ham, the first chimpanzee in space.

In 1995, Carris Brook Industries, the parent company to Native Textiles from Glens Falls, NY, decided to close the plant and consolidate operations in NY. Only seven workers from the plant relocated to New York with the company. Another 130 took retirement.

In October of 1997, developers Rick Haas and his wife Lynn Banta of Harveys Lake bought the plant with a vision to make it a modern day business center.Mr. Haas orgionally intended to call the complex the "Lynn Center" after his wife. As development began, however, the significance of the twin smoke stacks and the heretage they represented became apparent and the complex was given the name "The Twin Stacks Center."

Since it's opening the Twin Stacks Center has been a tremendous success maintaining a 95% or better occupancy rate. Still under the direction of developers Rick Haas and Lynn Banta, they continue to improve the building and the surrounding facilities in order to meet the needs of the Back Mountain business community.The latest imporvement is the instalation of the a WiFi Zone and wireless network throught the complex. Tenants and their customers can now wirelessly connect to the internet. Twin Stacks is the first business complex in North East PA to provide a WiFi Hotspot of this size. The next expansion, coming in the fall of 2004 will be the addition of self storage units.

A Modern Facility with Historical Flair. In the Heart of the Back Mountain.
