The Spinning Mill in Skowhegan was built in 1922 as the Solon Manufacturing Building.
Initially designed for spinning textiles it was a pioneer in its time, being one of the first electrified mills in the region, thanks to its proximity to hydropower. The mill’s architecture boasts over 200 double-pane windows, each six feet wide by ten feet tall, flooding the space with natural light.
