The Grundy Mills Complex or Bristol Worsted Mills in Bristol, Bucks County, Pennsylvania includes 13 textile mill buildings built from 1876-1930, by the William H. Grundy Co. It operated as a worsted mill until 1946 and still is used for industrial operations.
The 1911 clock tower is 168 feet (51 m) tall. Other buildings range from 1 to 7 stories tall. The larger buildings, built from 1900-1915, include the warehouse, the powerhouse, and the clock tower, are monumental in scale and can be seen from well outside the town. Over 850 workers were employed in the plant in 1920 when it was the largest employer in Bucks County.
