What is it about?

From the National Register nomination

July 2009: The facility that stands today as the Charlottesville Woolen Mills is a series of connected buildings along the bend of Moore's Creek. The main building is a four-story, four-bay, brick building laid in American bond built into the ridge. The bays are recessed and feature large, metal, three-part industrial glazed windows with concrete sills on the second, third, and fourth floors. The building has a high basement level on the south elevation, beneath which the stone foundation of previous mill buildings are visible. "Charlottesville Woolen Mills" is painted in large block letters along the top of the building on the east side. Attached to the main block by a one-story, brick wing are two two-story, four-bay, brick and concrete buildings. The northern building formerly housed the weaving department, while the southern building was the finishing building. The buildings are made of poured concrete on the first story and brick laid in five-course American bond on the second story. The first floors have smaller glazed windows and garage-style doors, while the second stories have large glazed windows that match those of the main building.
