DescriptionView from above of the Cheney Brothers weaving mill in South Manchester, Connecticut. The mill has three parallel wings that are connected at the left end. The right end is not visible. The wing in the foreground is two stories tall, while the next two appear to be three stories tall. The walls are covered with large factory windows. There is a road running to the left of the mill, and there is another building on the other side of it. There are a few smaller buildings visible in the background, as well as lots of trees. The picture was taken from the top of the spinning mill, next to the weaving mill.
