The Champlain Mill in Winooski, Mill No. 4, was completed in 1912 as part of American Woolen Company’s expansion. In December of 2014, Waterworks Food + Drink opened to occupy the space of its predecessor with an updated interior, a creative New American menu and the same spectacular views of the Winooski River.
Vacant for several years, the building became derelict filled with broken glass and pigeons until renovations in 1980 transformed the interior to office space, boutique shops and dining establishments. One notable restaurant was Waterworks, located in this space. The Mill Museum opened in 1998.
By early 2000, many tenants left; retailers became a part of Champlain Mill history. In 2011, My Web Grocer purchased and renovated the building, adding new windows, a new roof and their company office spaces. The Mill Museum and Winooski Historical Society Museum welcome visitors on the second level.
The afternoon sun can blind the guests and waitstaff. Something had to be done to reduce the BRIGHT sun, yet maintain the gorgeous view of the river. As you can see at the end of the sun room, the bright light is filtered just right through our EcoSmart Roller shades.
When you have such breathtaking views of the Winooski River, you want to see it, even when the shades are down. We selected a Charcoal 3% fabric. The color allows a beautiful see-thru when lowered and the density of the weave blocks much of the blinding sunshine.
