Mill conversion
Mill Conversion or mill rehab is a form of adaptive reuse in which a historic mill or industrial factory building is restored or rehabilitated into another use, such as residential housing, retail shops, office, or a mix of these non-industrial elements (mixed-use). == Historical background == In the United States, the development of industry during the 19th and early 20th centuries resulted in the construction of thousands of mills or factory buildings typically built of brick or stone masonry across the nation, with a high concentration in the Northeast.
