The Pembroke Mill is a historic mill building at 100 Main Street in Pembroke, New Hampshire, on the north bank of the Suncook River. The four story brick Renaissance Revival building was constructed in 1860, and was the first building of the Suncook Manufacturing Company, which became a major employer in Pembroke and was responsible for the development of the Suncook village where the mill is located. The most prominent feature of the building is its tower, a five story campanile with narrow arched windows and wider arched doors on the lower levels, above which is an elaborate corbel table and a slate skirt. These are topped by the fifth level, which has single arched windows on each face, above which are a series of recessed arches in a flared corbelling that support the pyramidal slate roof.[2]

The mill building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
