The main building was constructed in 1838, and subsequently expanded in 1859.[3] The mill was named after Francis Faulkner and Josiah Colony, who owned multiple mills along the Ashuelot River.[3] In addition to the main mill building, a former boarding house (built 1810) and a storehouse (built 1859) are included in the NRHP listing.[3] The mill provided material for many uses, including to the U.S. military during the Civil War, World War I, and World War II.[3]

After ceasing operation as a mill in 1953, the property was converted to retail and office space in 1983, and was later coverted into residential apartments.[3]
