mqiiiiHjnitMm 4The Daily Tar HeelFriday. April 9 1982 Carr Mil the home of history By ALISON MALLARD Slarf Writer Carr Mill Mall, located. on the cor ner of Weaver and North Greensboro streets in Carrboro, is a historical landmark that was once a leading cot ton mill in the state. The original structure, built in 1899 as a textile mill by Thomas Lloyd, was called the Alberta Cotton Mill. Lloyd sold the mill to General Julian S. Carr of Durham in 1909. Carr transformed it into the Durham Hosiery Company, building it into one of the largest hosiery companies in the world during the first quarter of the century. , . Carrboro is named in honor of Carr. Originally named Venable, after former UNC president Frances P. Venable, the name changed in 1913 after Carr aided in bringing electricity to the area. The mill closed during the Great Depression of the 1930s and did not reopen until after World War II, when Pacific Mills of Boston used it as a woolen mill. Next it was sold to the BVD company, which used it as a sor ting and shipping factory for underwear. In 1967 the EDY Corporation bought it for $300,000. Edward Yaggy, president of the company, went fhrrth i tbrf-vear court brittle before winning the case and being awarded the deed, said Mark Burn ham, owner of Book Cellar in the Mall. The case arose when the BVD Company went back on a promise to pay the first sale price they offered EDY. EDY planned to tear down the mill and construct a new shopping center. However, the community opposed the plan because they wanted to keep the area preserved. "They were quite pleased indeed when new plans were to only change it into a mall," meaning that the struc ture itself was preserved, said William Powell, professor of history at UNC. "The community was afraid the old mill would be destroyed." In the early 1970s, Southern Real Estate of Charlotte became interested in the property and performed market surveys on it. Their results were positive, in that the property wou,ld be a good investment, so they proposed a mall plan. At the same time Harris Teeter grocery chain and Revco Drug stores also conducted surveys. When they decided to join the center, building space had to be made for them. Their stores were built where the mill's power plant and smoke stack had been. During this transformation into a shopping center the mill complex was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. This listing meant that the changes could be tax deducti ble. This also meant that all changes had to pass the Carrboro Appearance ; Commission's scrutiny. Other problems developer B. J. Allison of Charlotte encountered in cluded window repairs and acquiring enough funds to begin the structural rehabilitation. The funds for purchas ing the property were given by Con necticut Mutual Life Insurance, and Mutual Savings and Loan of Charlotte made a $2,500,000 construc tion loan. The window problem was a more, difficult situation, as the mill had over 152 brick-covered windows. The bricks were removed and saved for future buildings. Special window frames with 40 glass panes each were constructed and built in the style of the old windows, costing $1,200 per window. Renovations and construction of the mill occurred in stages. The first stage of building the mall stores , end ed on May 1977 and the second stage included the building of offices accor ding to tenant requests. The mill originally was valued at $304,700 and covered 70,796 square feet. The new construction raised the value to $1,538,500 in 1978 and the area increased to 107,021 square feet. The work on the mill averaged $26.16 per square foot for a total of $2,800,000. Public service inouncements must be turned into the box outside DTH offices in the Carolina Union by noon if they are to run the next day. Each item will be run at least twice. uu Hi HARCOUHT BRACE JOVAKOVICH. IXC. Time Is Running Out TEST PREPARATION BOOKS All new 1981 Editions!
