  • Bay Mill (later Shore Mill) (John M. Miller)

This three-story, stuccoed stone mill with a trapdoor monitor is typical of early-nineteenth-century Rhode Island industrial structures; additions on the south and the mansard-roof office are late nineteenth-century additions. The only documented textile mill in East Greenwich, it stands on the site of one of the first fully mechanized textile mills in the state.
