North of the Main Mill is a brick extension, the Engine House (1892), which bridges the Raceway. It is one story with grouped, arched window openings (two groups of three, then a group of two) between projecting piers, and has a shallow-pitched roof. It once housed a steam engine and connected a group of powerrelated buildings (demolished) to the East Ell. Remnants of the demolished buildings can be seen on its north wall. Today it contains a heating plant for the mill. It will continue to serve as the heating plant until the mill is converted to housing, at which point plans call for it to become a public room containing an historical exhibit about the mill and a library/lounge.
