The building dates to 1912 and was renovated in 2008.  It was formerly the North State Milling Company an early 20th century industrial site.  Preservation Greensboro’s Facebook page has the best explanation we’ve found about the history of the building. “he company was founded in 1912 and manufactured plain and self-rising cornmeal and flour, hen scratch, bran, and feed for livestock. Grain was brought to the site by truck and by rail where it was processed and held for distribution across the region. The original three-level building features a handsome corbelled brick cornice and exterior painted sign advertising Daily Bread Flour, but the interior of the building holds exceptional detailing as well. Remarkably well-preserved, these silos remain an integral part of the Mill. Recent renovations by building owner Eric Robert have exposed these silos in a way that is both historic, yet dramatically contemporary. Robert divided the tall vertical space by floor level, reusing the planks once part of the wall, as flooring. Although spaces are constructed of 100-year old wood, and conform to the dimensions of the original silos, the beautifully austere space is a minimalist setting that feels oddly futuristic.”

Tonight and this weekend would be a great time to step inside and see this “oddly futuristic” look.

Happy Thursday!
