Oakland Mill, also known as Oakland-Kendall Mill, is a historic textile mill complex located at Newberry, Newberry County, South Carolina in the United States. The original section was built between 1910 and 1912, with building expansion campaigns conducted from 1949 to 1950 and from 1950 to 1951. The original section reflects Romanesque Revival style design influences. The complex includes the main mill building, a one-story brick office building, a two-story brick boiler house with a brick smokestack and auxiliary building, two masonry and concrete warehouses, two wood-frame auxiliary storage buildings, a railroad spur, two water towers, and a reservoir.
