Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Faulkner & Colony Woolen Mill is an historic mill building located at 222 West Street in Keene, New Hampshire. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 2020.[1]

The main building was constructed in 1838 and was subsequently expanded in 1859.[1] The mill was named after Francis Faulkner and Josiah Colony, who owned multiple mills along the Ashuelot River.[1] In addition to the main mill building, a former boarding house (built 1810) and a storehouse (built 1859) are included in the NRHP listing.[1] The mill provided material for many uses, including to the U.S. military during the Civil War, World War I, and World War II.[1]

Mid-20th century developments in synthetics caused the mill to close in 1954, making it the longest running family-owned textile mill in the country.[2] The property was converted to retail and office space in 1983 and was later converted into residential apartments.[1]
