The Erwin Mill Building

 

Outside the Building

NESCent is located in the Erwin Mill Building, which was built in 1893 and served as a cotton mill until 1986.  The 15 foot ceilings, thick wooden posts scattered through the building, and 9 foot windows are all that remain of its original purpose.  Space on the second story was renovated in 2005 to provide NESCent with 16,500 square feet of office and meeting space.
