The entire district contains 3 contributing buildings and one contributing structure. Beginning operations in 1904, Greystone Mill produced worsted wool. Built of Joseph Benn and Sons, it was taken over by the Worcester Textile Co just before WWII. It was one of the last and largest full production worsted plants in New England when it closed in 1999.
In 2008 the District was expanded to include additional buildings which include housing facilities, civil function buildings and religious and cultural places.
