Southern Bleachery and Print Works is a historic factory building located at Taylors, Greenville County, South Carolina. Built by the J. E. Sirrine Company of Greenville, it operated between 1924 and 1965, but the last buildings were built in 1952. The property consists of 15 contributing resources, including the main building, warehouses, a smokestack, detached boiler room with smokestack, a filtration plant, and two ponds. The bleachery took unfinished goods produced by other textile mills and converted them by bleaching, dyeing, and finishing into material used in the manufacture of garments and other end uses.[2][3] There is about 827,000 square feet of interior space.[4]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.[1]
