Cottonwood Paper Mill, Stone industrial building in Cottonwood Heights, Utah.
The granite structure stands at the entrance of Big Cottonwood Canyon, featuring tall walls and multiple window openings across three floors.
Built in 1883 by architect Henry Grow for the Deseret News Corporation, the mill produced paper from local lumber and recycled clothing until 1893.
The mill transformed into the Old Mill Club in 1927, becoming a central location for social gatherings and dance events through the 1940s.
The building remains closed to visitors since its condemnation in 2005, with security measures in place to prevent unauthorized access.
Many residents dismissed the 1893 fire alarm as an April Fools' Day joke, allowing the flames to spread throughout the structure.
