Textile mill landscapes are an evident piece of North Carolina history. As such, they present a unique preservation challenge. A possible new use for these sites is an aging-in-place housing typology known as a continued care retirement community (CCRC). The current shift in American demographics towards older adults offers an opportunity to pair the ideas of preserving textile mills and providing aging-in-place housing. The intent of this research is to analyze the spatial layouts of both historic textile mill landscapes and CCRCs to determine if there might be a compatible fit. The research is accomplished by creating a three-level spatial analysis framework to compare the two typologies. This thesis creates a foundation for future work on textile mill landscapes as successful aging-in-place communities.
