About Mill No. 1

Tucked along the Jones Falls stream, Mill No. 1 enjoys a storied history.

Beginning as a cotton mill in 1847, Mill No. 1 was home to The Mount Vernon Company, the world’s largest producer of cotton duck in the late 19th century. Now a reused, sustainable, and energy-efficient building, Cosima incorporates elements of the mill's past with a fresh look to the future within its walls.
