The North London Mill
The historic North London Mill, which embodies the storied heritage of Colorado mining, is the central focus of the site. The aim is to restore and repurpose the structure, utilizing efficient systems and sustainable energy as much as possible.
The Mill is deteriorating rapidly, as photographs from 1977 and 2003 show.

Given its state of deterioration and the costs involved with restoration, it is unclear at this time how the Mill itself will be used. It may be a sheltered, semi-outdoor space (like a pavillion), with some fully enclosed spaces. We are working with architect Jessica Reske of form+works design group, LLC, who led the nearby Paris Mill restoration project.
