Running off of hydropower, the original operation of this mill consisted of four gable-rooved
brick mill buildings.  Eventually, floors were added giving them flat rooves, the buildings
were connected by stairtowers and clocktowers, and other buildings were added to the
complex as well. Steam power and electric power were eventually introduced. The New
England textile industry was in decline by WWI and collapsed afterWWII this mill ceased
operations in 1958.  Additionally, this complex still contains buildings dating from the 1830s,
as well as containing new structures, dating closer to 1900. As such, it is a catalog of
industrial development over that time period.   Some of these buildings have been converted
 into apartments.
