The Aaron Mills Apartments is a new community of affordable housing in a historically industrial area of downtown Martinsville, Virginia. The site was a former mill occupied by American Furniture from the 1920s to the 1990s, and prior to that time it was used as a sawmill, lumberyard, coal yard and feed storage. After the furniture manufacturing facility ceased operation, the building burned down, and the City of Martinsville secured a Brownfields grant to perform site evaluation and cleanup to its current vacant land condition.
