The former Winsted Hosiery Mill complex is located north of Winsted's commercial downtown, on the east side of the Still River and the south side of Holabird Avenue.

The complex has six buildings, and is roughly divided in half by Whiting Street, which parallels the river.

Across Whiting Street is another large building, with smaller structures attached and standing detached nearby.

Its original mill building burned down in 1900, after which the company embarked on a ten-year construction program that resulted in the present complex.

The company experienced significant growth until about 1935, and saw declining employment during World War II.
