Not all of the mill has received renovation during its occupancy, especially in the lowest level. This is a door I've frequently found inside mills that uses a weight and pully sysem to close them automatically. This is a close up of one that still has the weight and cables intact.
This, I thought, was an interesting shot, looking through an archway and seeing a door just beyond it. As I'm still learning a lot about photography, I've picked up one very important lesson: take more pictures than you think you'll possibly need! That way, you have many options to choose from.
This is also from the lower, unused level, again showing the original bricks and flooring. This will eventually be part of the parking deck for the residents. The pole to the left is wooden, not concrete or steel.
In the same room as the above, we came across a row of gauges. Not sure what they were used to measure, but interesting nonetheless.
This is in one of the main levels of the mill. Scott pointed this out to us as he took us around the buildings. The floor is the original one when the mill was built, and as you can see clearly here, the support poles are indeed wood. If I've researched correctly, the poles and ceiling beams are heart of pine and the floors are of maple.
We were in one of the upper levels of the tower and found some of the original brickwork and an iron bolt that shows again the sturdiness of the building.

Again, many thanks to the people from the Cigar Factory for the opportunity to photograph the mill. I'm looking forward to going back and updating this page with the progress they make in the renovations.
