The challenges of revamping a 140-year-old industrial structure into a modern apartment building proved numerous and continual on W.C. Bradley Co.'s residential development in Columbus, Ga.
The developer hired contractor Brasfield & Gorrie to transform the Eagle & Phenix Mill No. 2 into a 44-unit apartment building. Originally constructed in 1872 as a storage facility for cotton, the 10,000-sq-ft, five-story structure was built of masonry and heavy timber.
