Project
Cable Mills Residences
Client - Traggorth Companies, LLC
Williamstown, Massachusetts
Finegold Alexander’s design transformed the General Cable Mill complex into a vibrant residential community. Built in 1873, General Cable Mill manufactured twine; and in later years, wire and cable. Over time, the mill complex became an abandoned ruin consisting of 15 buildings, eight of which were chosen for renovation. Selective demolition allowed for a coherent arrival sequence, green spaces and vehicular and pedestrian circulation to support the development. Finegold Alexander designed interior space plans for 61 housing units—13 of them designated affordable—which utilize highly sustainable, energy efficient and eco-friendly systems and materials.

The $26 million, 61-unit renovation included preservation of the historical integrity of the exterior brick and 20 types and sizes of windows across the three buildings. Attention to detail in restoration ensured its place on the National Register of Historic Places.

"The project spanned 13 years, 3 development teams, 2 Town Managers, and included multiple Williamstown community and Town stakeholder groups, local, state, and national historic agencies, designers, engineers and contractors to complete the project. Typically, a project like this would only take a few years to complete but our team navigated unusual circumstances and encouraged the exceptional dedication of many people who ensured the vision was realized."
Christopher Lane, AIA, Senior Associate, Finegold Alexander

Before & After Images
*Update January 2023
We made fixes to all mobile and safari browsers and you should no longer experience issues with those. Thanks!
Overview
Building an image comparison section in Webflow doesn't need to be difficult, and it shouldn't cost you time or money...
Here's a simple solution, we built ontop of the awesome js work from @pehaa.
We've tried to make this really accessible for all users, so what's important here is <Image Wrapper> and the two images inside of it, namely <Image One> and of course <Image Two>. We recommend you size your two images the same, although it will work regardless.
Use <Image Wrapper> to set your maximum width, and copy the code from page settings. That's it, when you publish the page the magic will happen.
