History

Built in 1898 by Thomas F. Lloyd, History of Carr Mill Mall on the Carr Mill Mall website [http://carrmillmall.com/history.shtml] ] it was formerly a cotton mill known as Alberta and the town's original name West End. By 1913 it had become one of the world's largest hardwood cross-tie markets shipping them on train tracks still visible by the mall today. In 1909 the Julian Carr family bought the mill and by 1930 it closed. In 1945 the miil re-opened and remained open until the 1960s. In 1974 the Carrboro board of Alderman decided to have the building torn down to build a mall. The community was outraged and in 1977 the mill reopended again but this time as Carr Mill Mall.North Carolina Travels page on Carr Mill Mall [http://www.northcarolinatravels.com/carrboro/carrmillmall/index.htm] ] Today it has expanded to include many shops.
