Greystone Mill, built 1904
The 150 lofts at Greystone Lofts fill a mill that once made some of the finest worsted fabrics in New England.
Construction of Greystone Mill began in 1904, and the complex was finished by 1911. Joseph Benn & Sons made fine worsted fabrics here and built much of the surrounding village for its workers. The mill closed in 1999.
Today the restored mill holds 150 loft apartments, from studios to two-level lofts, with soaring ceilings, exposed brick and beams, oak floors and oversized windows.
