Celebrating Places that Matter
Continuing our celebration of the National “Preservation Month” we urge you to reflect on historic preservation by recognizing the diverse and unique heritage of our country’s historic places, and, their stories, traditions, and legacies.
Today, we are delighted to highlight the former Mary Leila Cotton Mill, which was transformed into Mary Leila Lofts in 2017, an affordable, green, loft apartment community in Greensboro, Georgia. The historic integrity of the old mill and the beautiful original architectural features of the past such as high ceilings and old brass fittings were well preserved.
The project team also saved features like wood flooring, while incorporating
state-of-the-art technology, including solar panels, which provide energy needs to common lounge areas and gym facilities, as well as installing new eco-friendly windows, all illustrating that preservation can be achieved through intentional and sustainable design.
The 71 loft apartments have one, two, and three bedroom apartments each with a distinctive look. Additional amenities include a club style gathering room, a state of the art exercise room, outdoor swimming pool, wine cellar, and sculpture garden courtyard.
As we spread the word about National Historic Preservation Month, celebrate the places you love by sharing your photos at #thisplacematters.
Joseph Lordi Joins Rosemann & Associates in Atlanta
Hailing from Youngstown Ohio, Joe joined Rosemann’s Midtown Atlanta office in April 2022. He graduated from Kent State University in 2014 with a Bachelor of Arts in architecture. A native of Northeast Ohio, Joe spent his senior year at Kent State’s Florence Italy campus, where he returned after graduation to complete an internship at a boutique design studio.
Joe has practiced architecture in Pittsburgh (PA) and eventually Atlanta, for a cumulative five years before bringing his passion and experience to Rosemann. His background is in commercial, where he is comfortable working on both new and existing construction.

Joe uses pastel, charcoal, and oil paint to make portraits, figure drawings, and cityscapes – many of which he gives away to family and friends as gifts. He loves international travel and plans annual visits to Venice to see the Biennale. Joe speaks three languages including English, Spanish, and Italian.
