historic mills
Old industrial buildings
Historic mills are old mill buildings preserved for their historical or architectural significance.
These structures—typically former flour mills, textile mills, or sawmills—are often converted into museums, residences, or commercial spaces while retaining period features like waterwheels or original machinery.
The historic mills along the river have been converted to loft apartments.
