Jellif Mill Building

As you stroll past the 20th century storefronts of the modern downtown, you can see how business moved away from the waterfront to be closer first to the railroad depot, second to the trolley terminus and today to automobile traffic.  Notice too as you walk along, the small red clapboard building, hemmed in on all sides by the brick mass of the C.O. Jelliff Company.  The older building, at 362 Pequot Avenue, is the livery stable built in the 1880s.  Jelliff himself started building in the 1890s when he moved from his waterfront location on Harbor Road to be closer to the railroad line.
