On one side is the Congregational Church, facing south and overlooking the buildings of the Finishing Company in a hollow to the left. (paragraph 30

The modern Slatersville Finishing Company buildings fill up the hollow in the center of the village(L), the Green. Heere also is the old wood building (1804) of the Slater enterprise, and the Stone Mill(1826) with a belfry. In the 19th century this bell was rung as curfew to warn youngsters off the streets at 9 P.M. (paragraph 8)

Serving as the main office to the original mill built in 1804, today it still serves as an office to the residential apartments that the mill was converted to. Unique to the building is trapdoor monitor-roof windows, which were similar to the original wood mill built on site.
