Stillwater Worsted Mill, Greenville, R. I.

The Stillwater Worsted Mill, also known as the “Levy Mill” should not be confused with the Stillwater Mill, also known as the Lister Mill, which once stood on Stillwater Road in the Stillwater section of Smithfield.  The mill pictured here was located on Austin Avenue in Greenville, and is today an assisted living residence.
