Wool Warehouse in Roswell Marks Diminishing Wool Industry History
The Wool Warehouse in Roswell, once owned by Hurd and Baker and later by Hibbard, played a central role in regional wool trade for decades. It housed a major wool operation and served as a grain, hay, and coal retailer, with ties to Pabst and Anheuser-Busch. Decline followed sheep declines in New Mexico and coyote predation after the EPA banned 1080, leading to demolition in 1998 for safety concerns.
