Construction of
the Tiffany Mill was canceled until 1820 by the War of 1812 and the tough
times which followed. Before the cotton mill was built, the Tiffanys built
their own dam on the Quinebaug River. After the mill was built the Tiffanys
built themselves a mansion and three apartment houses for mill workers. By
1835 there were more than twelve buildings,including a store in the village.By
1848 after and Ebenezer Tiffany died ,the mill property was sold to businessmen
from Rhode Island.These men formed the Quinibaug Company.
