Old West Durham, once known as Pin Hook, was originally a thriving mill town. The cotton and denim mill employed over a thousand workers by the turn of the century, and built almost 500 homes surrounding the mill. Business owners later moved to Ninth Street to create a business district that still thrives today. Old West Durham, Ninth Street to be exact, is home to many wonderful restaurants, unique boutiques, and exciting things to see.
