Historic preservation is “often defined as the process of identifying, protecting, and enhancing buildings, places, and objects of historical and cultural significance” ("What is Historic Preservation?"). This website is designed to educate viewers about the benefits of historic preservation. Not only do you learn about historic preservation, but also you can learn the answers to how the transformation process takes place and why textile mills make the perfect loft apartments. The two textile mills that will be the main focus are local the surrounding Atlanta area, the Canton Cotton Mill in Canton, Georgia and Fulton Bag and Cotton Mill in Atlanta, Georgia.
