ABOUT CONTINENTAL GIN BUILDING
The Continental Gin Building was built in 1888 by Robert S. Munger to be a series of warehouses along Elm Street and Trunk Avenue used in the manufacturing of Cotton Gins which were distributed across the nation.  At one point during the height of cotton manufacturing 1/6th of the worlds cotton was produced within a 150 mile radius of the building.
After the Continental Gin Company closed in 1962, it became an elevator manufacturing company in 1963. In 1982, the building was converted into the artist community it is known for today. Artists in the building are very diverse in mediums ranging from painting, apparel design, graphic design, photography, interior design, sculpture, film, glasswork, and more.
