Oakland Mill, also known as Oakland-Kendall Mill, is a historic textile mill complex located at Newberry, Newberry County, South Carolina. The original section was built between 1910 and 1912, with building expansion campaigns conducted in 1949-1950 and 1950-1951. The original section reflects Romanesque Revival style design influences. The complex includes the main mill building, a one-story brick office building, a two-story brick boiler house with a brick smokestack and auxiliary building, two masonry and concrete warehouses, two wood-frame auxiliary storage buildings, a railroad spur, two water towers, and a reservoir. The mill remained in operation until the 2000s.[2][3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.[1]
