Iver Johnson Mills

As a rehabilitation project that is pursuing funding through the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program, the existing Heywood Chair and Iver Johnson Arms factory will be restored and converted into multifamily housing. This entailed a thorough programming analysis for highest and best use, detailed site planning and the incorporation of an addition that will house core tenant amenity functions. Much attention was paid to assure minimal impact on the building’s original structure and the proposed addition, while leaning more contemporary, is derivative of the Italianate and Second Empire architecture of the mills.
