Take a trip back in time for a moment. The year is 1902, and the textile industry in Greenville is thriving thanks to John T. Woodside and his Woodside Cotton Mill. The factory is enormous, and the surrounding neighborhood is an all-encompassing industrial community. History is being made. Today, the building still stands — and it’s now paying homage to its historical roots as a new living community that’s more than just a home: The Lofts at Woodside Mill.
