Timber Frame Restoration - Mill's Mill
North Carolina

Apartment / Condominium Restoration Project

Cabin Creek Timber Frames was happy to partner with New South Construction, Inc. to breathe new life into Mills Mill located in the heart of downtown Greenville, South Carolina. The old mill was built in 1896 and started producing fine materials the next spring. In 1978 it closed its doors as a producer of fine fabrics. It has housed a myriad of businesses since then.

Cabin Creek Timber Frames was able to replace the structurally damaged beams with new beams of Southern Yellow Pine. Dimensions on these new beams were a minimum of 12in. by 18in. as the span required. Cabin Creek removed and replaced or installed new heart pine beams in the elevator shafts and stairways. We were able to raise the rafter line on the mill to accommodate a clerestory.

Cabin Creek was happy to help restore the four-story, sixteen thousand square foot factory with its Romanesque-style tower. It is now able to shine as one of the features of present day downtown Greenville. The Lofts’ at Mills Mill considered urban living at its best with strong ties to the past.
