Historic Location, Updated for Modern Business
The Grist Mill on Hop Brook functioned as a working mill for over 270 years. Joseph Toy, of the Toy-Bickford Co., added the east wing to the building in 1864. There, the company would spin hemp, which was used in the safety fuses for manufacturing explosives. R.H. Ensign established it as a jute yarn factory; however, after his death it returned to being a mill.
The mill ceased operation in the late 1950s. It was renovated in the mid-1980s and has operated as both a restaurant and office space since 1985. Today, it offers a one-of a-kind location within a thriving, upscale community. It’s surrounded by a quintessential New England town. But it has all the trappings to conduct business, including proximity to a Starbucks and a French Bistro.

Our Vision: Community Value.
A Multi-Use Center for the Small Business, Professional Offices, Retail and Dining.
The Grist Mill has been used for a variety of creative uses in the past. Moving forward, we see the Grist Mill property becoming a business center; a home for retail shops; or, perhaps, architects’ or designers’ studios. It’s perfect for professional offices: easy to find, easy to park, easy on the eyes. Come dream with us and add your vision for the Grist Mill here. We envision a community where our developments become long-term assets, New England at its best, with the harmony and balance exemplified in the Grist Mill.
