What are the two historic buildings in Judson Mill District?

The Westervelt building, which opened in March 1912, originally stood in the front portion of Judson Mill. It was essential for converting cotton into thread. The Jenny building, also known as the "Twister Building," played a key role in yarn production.

Both buildings were essential to the mill village known as Mill Crescent, a group of old textile mills in the western section of Greenville in the early 1900s.

"The new apartments will feature a blend of historic charm and contemporary amenities," said Thomas F. Taft Jr., principal at Taft Family Ventures. "Residents will enjoy access to an array of retail, dining, and entertainment options within a short distance from downtown Greenville."

The building designs accentuate the industrial and brick style finishing characteristic of its 1912 origins. The units feature 25-foot ceilings with windows that reach just as high, offering views of the city of Greenville, Paris Mountain, and the campus. Monthly rents begin at $1,400.

"Our goal is to preserve the legacy of these historic structures while fostering a modern, vibrant community where residents can thrive and connect," said Ken Reiter, co-developer of Judson Mill. "This project represents the culmination of our vision for the Judson Mill District.
