In 1937, the J. Schoenith Company, Inc. purchased the mill and converted to manufacturer "high grade" candy, baked goods, and peanut products.

Lasting till the early 1960s, the facility since then was utilized as a wholesaling site for textile-related manufacturing companies and then later converted into office and residential condominiums.

The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) took over operations in 2003 and by 2007 the facility was repurposed as a Farmers' market once the museum was relocated near Bland Street station.

In 2021, the building was repurposed as a restaurant and brewery, called the Trolley Barn Fermentory and Food Hall, with the farmers' market relocated to the adjacent courtyard area.
