The mill is a complex of brick industrial buildings, with a four-story clock tower as its most distinguishing feature.[3] Originally built in 1893 for a mattress manufacturing company, the site has seen several uses, including a textile mill, fiberglass manufacturing, a bakery, and mixed use small businesses and live/work spaces. It was one of the first industrial complexes in Houston Heights, and is the last remaining.[4][5]
