Quinebaug Mill–Quebec Square Historic District is a

historic district roughly bounded by the Quinebaug River, Quebec Square, and Elm and S. Main Streets in the town of Brooklyn (extending partly into the town of Killingly) in Windham County, Connecticut, United States.[1] The district encompasses a well-preserved 19th-century mill village. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]

Description and history

The district is primarily located within the

Greek Revival to the Queen Anne.[4]

The Quinebaug Mill was built by

row houses, each containing eight apartments, surrounding a green space.[3]

The historic district is considered to be a well-preserved example of a

textile mill village, a type of company town that was common in 19th-century eastern Connecticut.[4]
