A Pawtucket landmark since 1902
The Village Lofts fills the historic five-story preparing mill built for Hope Webbing Mills.
The mill was built in 1902 and expanded in 1913. Hope Webbing Mills made the cords used for parachutes by Allied soldiers in World War II. In the 1950s, School House Candy took over and made jelly beans and lollipops here until 1998. Urban Smart Growth bought the property in 2005, and the mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
Today it holds 149 loft-style apartments from 500 to 1,400 square feet, with the brick, beams and big windows of the original mill.
