We called the Watch Factory home for 7 years. We were initially attracted to the brick walls and high ceilings. We loved our view of the river through the large windows and even saw wildlife including bald eagles and blue herons. It’s in a great location, within walking distance to Moody St., and our children enjoyed the splash pad/playground across the street.
