About
The Erlanger Mill Village Historic District is an 85-acre textile mill village in north Lexington with 282 contributing buildings. Its bungalow-style worker houses, built about 1916 to 1929 by the Erlanger Mill Company, were laid out by landscape architect Earle Sumner Draper, making it a well-preserved example of a planned Southern mill village.
The mill complex was built from 1913 through the 1960s. The district also includes Erlanger Baptist Church (1936) and Erlanger Graded School (about 1920). It was listed on the National Register on January 9, 2008.
