In true Southern fashion, we like to call it like it was. The initial purpose of a building leads to a nickname, which seems to outlast the generations. It makes giving directions a bit tricky, but that throwback lends a bit of nostalgia that gives our small town that charm that keeps you coming back.

The building has changed hands and the floor plan redesigned, but the character of the building carries on. Along with a fresh coat of paint, we’ve welcomed some incredible entrepreneurs to offer you the essentials of a life well lived…

You can start your day with a cup of coffee and donut, pick up a great book or vinyl record, select a savory olive oil and balsamic to prepare a meal for loved ones, or fill a pint and enjoy some conversation.

We even have room for new neighbors. If you have a vision for that business you’ve always dreamed of, we’d love to discuss new opportunities at The Mill Building!


Nestled in the Western North Carolina mountains is a thriving downtown shopping district boasting one-of-a-kind shops, art galleries, breweries & eateries…

We’ll see you at 104 Tennessee Street in Murphy, NC!
