Crowley Cheese Factory

The Crowley Cheese Factory stands about 1.3 miles (2.1 km) southwest of the rural village of Healdville in Mount Holly, Vermont.

The factory building is a modest 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, measuring about 30 by 40 feet (9.1 m × 12.2 m), with a gabled roof, center chimney, and clapboard siding.

A short boom projects at the top of the gable, providing a place to attach hoisting mechanisms for accessing those entrances.

It was formed to take surplus milk from area farmers, which would be turned into cheese and sold at the Healdville railroad depot.

Most succumbed due to the decline of Vermont's farms and the advent of refrigeration, which enabled shipment of dairy products across much greater distances.
