Arctic Mill Store (c. 1852)
A 2-1/2 story, random ashlar granite structure, with two entries in a symmetrical, 5-bay front. The building, sited on a small lot, was probably built for use as a store when the Arctic Mill was erected nearby in 1852. It continued in use as a store until the early 20th century. The Pawtuxet Valley Nurses Association occupied part of the building by 1922. It was used as nurses' home until 1863; then it housed a woman's club and the Fourth District court. It is commercial use today.
