This mill was built in 1837 as a woolen mill for Moses Leonard. It had a stone foundation and a two-story frame structure. In 1869, Caleb Ticknor and William S. Goodrich formed a partnership and purchased the old mill, under the woolen factory, for the purpose of general milling and grain business.

This implies the building housed two mills at once, the woolen mill upstairs and the grist mill in the basement. It was damaged by a fire in 1875 and rebuilt as the Star Grist Mill. Water from a branch of the huge penstock, (a picture of it in the Smith & Allen group) serving the Old Stone Mill turned the turbines in the basement. This penstock may have served all three of these mills.

C. C. Peck purchased the mill from Ticknor & Goodrich and leased it to W. W. Chapman in 1885. In 1889, Chapman left the business. William B Rose later owned and ran the Star Grist Mill. George W. Rose succeeded his father in the business. In 1936, Farm Service Stores, Inc. opened a retail and wholesale store in the old mill. The business was sold to General Mills in June of 1937.

In 2012, the old mill houses several shops and offices including Manestream Salon.GPS: 44' 0.78'N, 73' 10.20'W ele. 364'/111 meters Middlebury Quadrangle
