2011 Interior Rehabilitation Award winner
The Interior Rehabilitation Award is presented for the most impressive interior restoration project in Old town Noblesville.
Just one block south of the Roper Lofts, the Model Mill Building continues to contribute to the revival of the 8th Street corridor. Owner Rocky Shanehsaz is a past recepient of an NPA Award for his work on the Model Mill. The renovations took a leap forward in 2011 with the opening of the Milltop Banquet and Conference Center. The Center consists of two large rooms on the third floor, the ballroom and the Great Room, along with several smaller rooms. All have been converted from warehouse space to the attractive event venues.
The Model Mill Building, which houses the Mill Top, has a storied history that goes back almost 50 years. Originally, the building was used to produce Kismet Flour. The Noblesville High School “Millers” are actually named for this product. In 1899, the Marmon family bought the building and in 1911 the Marmon “Wasp”, which won the first Indianapolis 500 race was built there.
