History

Established in 1912.

The Champlain Mill in Winooski, Mill No. 4, was completed as part of American Woolen Company's expansion. The mill manufactured fine worsted (wool) fabric for military, police and railroad uniform cloth, men's suiting and fashion fabrics. During World War II machines operated 24 hours a day, with 300 people leaving and coming for the 3 shift changes. The mill shut down in 1954 because of a decline in defense orders, the onset of synthetics, foreign competition and the high cost of manufacturing in northern mills. The building became derelict until renovations in 1980 transformed the interior to office space, boutique shops and dining establishments. One notable restaurant was Waterworks, located in this space. In 2011, My Web Grocer purchased and renovated the building, adding new windows, a new roof and their company office spaces. In December of 2014, Waterworks Food + Drink opened to occupy the space of its predecessor with an updated interior and a creative New American menu
