On the outskirts of Harrisville, 2.6 m. (R), is the old Granite Mill. Daniel Sayles and his sons began on this site, about 1800, a custom-carding and cloth draping business. Fancy cassimeres were made after 1838. The present mill was erected in 1865 by Albert Sayles, grandson of Daniel, for the production of heavy cassimeres. It was bought in 1932 by the Service Dyeing and Winding Company.
