Eclipse Mill Loft — Live/Work Opportunity in Iconic Industrial Space
243 Union Street, Unit #100 | North Adams, MA 01247
A rare chance to own the original administrative wing of the historic Eclipse Mill — a true 1960s/70s SoHo-style loft with over 3,800 sq ft of flexible, near-raw space across two levels. Unit #100 is one-of-a-kind in the building: The former entrance to Eclipse Mill/Hoosac Cotton Mill, it is the only loft with two original bank vaults, floor-to-ceiling interior walls creating six enclosed rooms, and a private porch entrance deeded exclusively to the unit.
This is a quiet, private end-unit with North, West, and South exposures, river frontage, mountain view, eleven 7×9′ windows on the main floor and three large horizontal windows in the basement. Light pours into the main open space, complemented by a 22 x 14 ft kitchen with Bosch dishwasher, upright freezer, and all major appliances. The washer, dryer, and utility sink are located in the spacious daylight basement. There are 1.5 bathrooms, functional but ready for updates.
Other features include:
- 12.5 ft ceilings
- Flat recessed windowsills for plant and storage space
- Two separate storage rooms
- Three legal entrances (including one directly to the street)
- Slate, fir wood, and carpeted floors
- Zoned residential/commercial
- Private porch with space for container gardening
Currently used to house a working artist’s archive, the space remains largely untouched — a true blank canvas. Located steps from MASS MoCA and MCLA, and just a few miles from the Clark Art Institute and Williams College, this loft offers both seclusion and connection in one of New England’s most progressive and art-rich towns.
Ideal for artists, archivists, creatives, or those seeking gallery or mixed-use space.
