Building Profile - North Star Lofts - 117 Portland Ave, 4th Floor

DateTuesday, April 5, 2011 at 2:00PM | by AuthorDavid Tinjum

The North Star Mill operated as a woolen mill on this site from 1864 until it closed in 1949. The building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, consists of three joined structures built between 1890 and 1925. The first rehabilitation of a historic building in the Mill District, the redevelopment of this building resulted in multiple unique floor plans with both one and two story units.

Original brick work.
