Very, very large partitioned mill structure. Off site power station (just cross the Naug river) and dump site. Once called the "mile long mill". Tower is cool but hard to access.

Large, open spaces full of someone else's junk and old equipment. Unfortunately, since the building was repurposed in the 80's, all the original equipment is gone. Lot's of newer 'old' equipment abandoned in the last decade still exists. The main 'tower' is cool but hard to access (near center of the building). Cross the Naug to the west over the convenient (but fenced) foot bridge to visit Chase's acclaimed waste site. No vegetation tells the story. Keep going up the hill to see the old power station and shed. While overgrown, it's worth the hike being a bit eerie at dusk. Lot's of roof access too.

One of the larger brass companies in Waterbury, contributing to the name "Brass City". The Mile Long Mill was collectively known as Chase Metalworks and now Waterbury Industrial Commons. The building is partially abandoned. (East side) The property west of the Naug was used as a hazmat dump site for Chase during the early 1900's. The EPA has since cleaned it up. The building was fully repurposed in 1983 leaving little evidence of the old product.

The City of Waterbury plans on razing it and building a large public works complex in its place.
