Wednesday Window – pt 19

After last week’s frosty view of a window in an old New England mill, I’m bringing back another mill for this week. This photo goes back to 2009 and at that time it was m ore than a bit dilapidated. While that may lend charm to an image, there is a positive twist coming up.

Here’s a view of these substantial mills…

Linwood Mills

Since the time of this photo, these mills have been revitalized into affordable contemporary senior housing. The details on this project can be found on this web-site. It’s great to see this kind of adaptive re-use, as it retains the character of the towns and provides a means of ‘recycling’ great structures.

I definitely love seeing more of these comeback stories!

This is my mid-week contribution to the Monday Window thread, a creation of Ludwig Keck. To read more about Ludwig, check this page.
