History of Woolen Mill
In 1887 John McMurchy built a woolen mill that was powered by its own private powerhouse. Built of red brick it has since been painted over in a drab grey. With a staff of 30-35 employees, the mill’s main product was socks. During the first world war, it produced the socks used by the military. After 65 years of production, the mill was closed in 1953. The following year Hurricane Hazel would destroy its dam.

Found this old factory and scouted the exterior. Will go back in a few days or so and try to take some interior shots.
The building states that there is security cameras and such but no sign of any cameras could be seen.
Located in the city of Brampton, Peel County part of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area portion of the Greater Golden Horseshoe, in Southern Ontario.

Went there yesterday, there is an automatic light that turns on once you approach the building which stays on for almost 10 mins. Neighbour's dog started barking, then they came outside so I left. Seems impossible
Changed the name, and yep GPS is correct. And I guess J.P Hutton was the founder of Huttonville? ^^
"This is the hydro-electric power house built by J P Hutton to power his mills. the old McMurchy Mill. This was actually one of JP Hutton's mills. The power house supplied electricity to Brampton until 1912 and to the McMurchy Mill "
