The Clinton Mills Company was organized for the production of ladies cloth, dress goods, and cloaks in 1864. The firm was led by J.D. Sturtevant, president; Francis Cabot, secretary and treasurer; and A.P. Sturtevant, agent. The company operated a sizable mill along the Yantic River in the Bean Hill section of Norwich and by the late 1880s employed 130 hands. By the early 1890s, the firm maintained 10 sets of carding machines and 56 broad looms and turned out 165,200 pounds of woolen dress goods per year.
The Clinton Mills Company continued to operate until 1910, whereupon the firm was purchased by its agent, Lewis J. Saxton, who reorganized it as the Saxton Woolen Corporation.
After changing ownership several times, the building is known today as the Turner and Stanton Mill.
