The Red Mill was one of the earliest steam mills constructed in Chisinau. Originally built with wood in the 1850s and 1860s, it had a single floor. In 1884, it underwent reconstruction using stone, now featuring three levels. After changing ownership multiple times, in 1890, the mill came under the ownership of the merchant Abram Levenzon, who added an elevator and constructed an adjacent shop. In 1901, the third level suffered damage in a fire. A year later, it was reconstructed, now with an additional floor and a stone attic. The newly added floors were adorned with red brick (fire-resistant), giving rise to the current name “Red Mill.” Equipped with state-of-the-art German machinery for its time, the mill operated until the 1950s. During the Soviet era, the mill building was repurposed for use as a warehouse.
