Chehalem Valley Mill – Repair and Restoration

The private owner renovated, remodeled and stabilized the structure and exterior surfaces of the 100-year old mill building. The original mill is a 3-story timber framed structure over a brick basement. The east mill addition is load-bearing brick walls with wood-framed roof structure. The other mill additions are wood framed structures.

A complete seismic upgrade of the multi-story timber framed mill building included foundation reinforcement and lateral design, with structural design by others coordinated by Marcia A. Mikesh Architect Inc.
