DescriptionView from the roof of a large stone (granite?) industrial building. A square tower connects to a transept and there are dormers on the roof. The Willimantic River is on the right, crossed by an iron bridge. The buildings on the left appear to be workers' housing and to include single and multiple-family units. Main Street, immediately to the left of the mill building, is lined with trees, apparently elms.
