The Dixie Mercerizing Company was built in 1920 by local entrepreneur Jack T. Lupton, bringing the textile industry and mercerizing yarn process to the Southeast. The plant worked largely in tandem with its sister textile plant in Lupton City and continued operations until closing down in 2009. The building has changed hands several times since 2009, but has remained vacant and largely disregarded. The developers are excited to bring new life back into this neighborhood and iconic building.
