The Mill by grammyn

The Mill

This building used to be part of a cotton mill and is now renovated into apartments in my small town of 40,000 people. It just opened this year

"The 127 units of modern, urban living include approximately 60 unique floor plans consisting of 1-Bedroom, 2-Bedroom, and 3-Bedroom apartments. These are housed within the former Daniel Pratt cotton gin complex (1848), consisting of five historic masonry structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Many of the original building architectural components have been incorporated into the loft designs including exposed brick walls, wooden support beams, and oversized windows that maximize the one-of-a-kind views and natural light."
I imagine those apartments will go fast- they sound beautiful with the brick and beams being incorporated into the design. Nice shot.

Katy, what a great example of repurposing (if that's a word) the old mill. fav

I'd love to see inside. And the stories those walls could tell...

It sounds wonderful. I'm so glad they are renovating, rather than tearing down. Great shot -- I love the inclusion of the fountain, with falling water so distinct!

What a fabulous use of the historic building.
August 5th, 2023  
Lovely.

The apartments sound really nice.

Funny. There are two apartment buildings here made from old mills. One was furniture and the other, hosiery.

So glad someone has the flair and money to use these wonderful old buildings. Just imagine how those windows would look from the inside!

I presume that this is them?: https://www.themillatprattville.com

I have always… well, maybe not always, but for a long time… wanted to live in a converted industrial building apartment/loft, so this really appeals to me. And that fountain is a lovely selling point!
August 9th, 2023  
@marilyn perhaps you will decide to move here?!
August 9th, 2023  
@grammyn you and that lovely setting are nice selling points, but the weather and my hubby have way more weight in the direction of not moving there. 😊
August 9th, 2023  
it was worth a shot @marilyn
