The Worcester Bleach and Dye Works is a historic factory complex at 60 Fremont Street in Worcester, Massachusetts, comprising two primarily brick buildings constructed in 1909 and between 1911 and 1922 for a major local thread manufacturer. The neoclassical complex features two connected structures: the 1909 building is a two-story brick structure with an eighteen-bay facade fronting Fremont and Delaware Streets, its restrained exterior distinguished by a Classical Revival round arch entry with granite steps at the recessed doorway; the second building, built shortly after, rises to three stories in matching style. The two were originally joined by a bridge spanning Fremont Street, evidence of which survives in a second-floor doorway. A connecting two-story wood-frame section, finished in stucco during a 1986 renovation, links the buildings at the corner. After the Bleach and Dye Works ceased operations in 1938, the complex passed through several owners, including the Economic Machinery Corporation and Capital Shoe Footwear. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
