Historic Narrative
From Roth: H. B. Norton and L. Blackstone of Norwich formed the Attawaugan Manufacturing Co. in 1859. The firm ran cotton mills on three water privileges within three miles of each other along Five Mile River in northern Killingly. Each mill was the center of a small village; from downstream to upstream these were (and are) named Attawaugan, Ballouville and Pineville. Each privilege had seen industrial activity since at least the early 19th century... Jabez Amesbury had partnered with Leonard Ballou in 1825 to produce cotton textiles at Ballouville, and later built a cotton mill upstream at Pineville that burned in 1853. Attawaugan bought this privilege in 1860, and built the mill in 1865.

Architectural Description
From Roth: The 1865 mill in Pineville resembles the Ballouville mill, with stuccoed rubble walls, near-flat roof, granite sills and lintels. The 3-story mill is 124' x 50' with a central stair tower and 80' x 26' ell. A brick boiler house was added later. There are six mill houses west and south of the mill.
