Thursday was a big day for the former flour mill in Baldwinsville. The building, dating back to 1828, celebrated its grand opening as the Red Mill Inn Thursday.

The Inn features 32 rooms and a conference center. The $3 million construction project took less than a year to complete. The former mill needed a lot of work, especially with structural problems. It sits on an island between the canal and Seneca River, a location the owners call unique.

Red Mill Inn Co-owner Jake McKenna said, "We looked at it and saw it as the final piece that needed to be completed to complete this waterfront development the village is undertaken. And we thought this could be the gem at the end of the village."

The grand opening comes one year to the day the owners bought the building.
