I used to live right up the hill from the mill when I was a kid on Vandewater St. My Mom worked in the Mill for a company, possibly IBM that packaged transistors. I also believe my Grandmother worked in the mill for a textile company. Did a quick google search but found nothing. Who ever bought it a dumped a load of cash into it for apartments and retail space. Completely new windows in the entire place. Do we have any information on it?
