Sylvanus Selleck Gristmill
Sylvanus Selleck Gristmill, Historic gristmill in Greenwich, Connecticut.
The wooden structure at 124 Old Mill Road features a gabled roof, clapboard siding, and rests on a fieldstone foundation near Converse Pond Brook.
Built in 1796 by farmer Sylvanus Selleck, the mill underwent expansion in the 1860s under Edwin Knapp who operated it until his death in 1895.
The gristmill illustrates the agricultural practices of early American communities, where farmers brought their grain for processing into flour and meal.
The exterior of the gristmill remains visible from Old Mill Road, allowing visitors to observe the architectural elements of this National Register site.
The structure stands as one of only two remaining 18th-century mill buildings in Connecticut, featuring rare brace-frame construction with oak and chestnut beams.
