Grundy Mill Complex
The Grundy Mills Complex or Bristol Worsted Mills in Bristol, Bucks County, Pennsylvania includes 13 textile mill buildings built from 1876–1930, by the William H. Grundy Co. It operated as a worsted mill until 1946 and still is used for industrial operations.
The 1911 clock tower is tall. Other buildings range from 1 to 7 stories tall. The larger buildings, built from 1900–1915, include the warehouse, the powerhouse, and the clock tower, are monumental in scale and can be seen from well outside the town. Over 850 workers were employed in the plant in 1920 when it was the largest employer in Bucks County.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
The Grundy Mill Clock Tower was the subject of a 2017. Jean-Marc, an immigrant from Nice, France, and current resident of Langhorne, PA, chose to paint the tower for its architecture and grandeur, standing watch over Bristol Borough. The painting is on display at the Centre for the Arts in Bristol, PA, and was recently highlighted by Bob Kelly on FOX News 29 and .
