The neighboring area surrounding the Loray Mill is known as Loray Mill Village. The mill remains the centerpiece of Loray Mill Village, standing a majestic 6 stories tall. At the time of construction, Loray Mill was the largest mill under one roof in the world. The mill is renowned for both its architecture and many significant events that took place there. Its pioneering design which suppressed fire and the spread of fire through architectural features include rounded columns, separated stairwells and a state-of-the-art air conditioning system.
