Here's three interesting facts about the Chronicle Mill.
It was the first mill built in Belmont, Circa 1901.
In 1906, it was one of the first buildings in the US to be air conditioned, then called a humidification system.
It operated under the Stowe Mills legacy until it closed in 2009 and has been vacant since that time.
Update: Demolition began in 2013, but the developer quickly saw the potential of the 110,000 square foot structure and decided to save it. Unfortunately, due to significant changes and additions over the years the building did not qualify for federal tax credits that would have helped off-set the cost of renovations. The ultimate fate of the building remains to be seen, but we're keeping our fingers crossed!
Question: What would you like to see this old mill transformed into?
