The Lace Mill Virtual Tour
Curious what's inside The Lace Mill? We're planning a walk-about tour closer to the July opening, but for now we've compiled Scott Dutton Associates' architectural vision through their computer-generated designs. This video gives you a sense of what's in store for you at The Lace Mill.
Bottom line: We encourage everyone to apply. This is a once-in-a lifetime opportunity, to live and work where artists live, in this newly renovated, historic landmark. The Lace Mill is an experiment in creative placemaking smack-dab in the heart of Kingston's midtown arts district. A creative, vibrant community awaits you... but you have to apply to have a shot at it.
