WAFCO MILLS, located at 801 McGee Street, has been converted to apartments and condos. This picture was taken on the train tracks that lead back up to Greensboro College and Weaver School for the Performing Arts. This building has plenty of character and an example of the successful regentrification of our city. This is another example of repurposing our historic buildings. Unfortunately, with the recent downpouring of rain, the building suffered a little flooding on the lower floor. We're not finding bsites for the building (other than sales). If you know of any, let us know and we'll link!
I love the character of old buildings. Several buildings in the town I grew up in (which I just moved back to) have been converted into apartment. I love that they are no longer tearing everything with character and history down!

This and yesterday's photo are lovely examples of post-industrial societies making sense.

This kind of thing seems to be happening all over the world. It's certainly a better option than tearing these old buildings down and putting up dull concrete blocks.
When are you moving in?
