Last week’s mystery, “Lots of bricks,” showed the old Arcadia Mills No. 2, which has been converted to apartments in Spartanburg. Congratulations to those who correctly identified the photo: Elizabeth Jones of Columbia; Jacie Godfrey of Florence; David Lupo of Mount Pleasant; Pat Keadle of Wagener; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; Kathy Inman of Boiling Springs; Frank Bouknight of Summerville; and Jay Altman of Columbia.
Lupo shared, “It was built in 1922 (Mill Number One having been built some 20y years before). In the 1930s Arcadia Mills was sold to Joshua Baily of New York, who renamed the company Mayfair Mill. The company closed in 2001, and in 2007 a developer converted Arcadia Mill Number Two into apartments, retaining the Mayfair name as “Mayfair Lofts.” The building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.:
