Adamov Mill, also known as Adam's Mill, was built by the Adamov merchants and is one of the attractions of Liven. It is a monument of industrial architecture from the late 19th century. The mill belonged to the 5th category and was notable for using electricity to transmit water energy to the millstones.

Architecturally, the complex consists of several structures stretched from west to east: a dam, a two-story building with power installations, a five-story grinding building with a basement and an attic, a grain cleaning building, and ten silos connected in a two-row block. This block, oriented from north to south, adjoins the northeast corner of the grain cleaning building and is separated by a narrow courtyard from the grinding building. The main building has facades facing north and south, with wide pediments and divided by pilasters into three spans. The windows are decorated with profiled strips and have arched or semi-circular lintels.

The floors of the main building, connected by hatches, are divided into three naves with concrete square supports. The equipment for the mill was manufactured by the Moscow Society 'Dobrovy and Nabgolts'. In 1913, 85 workers were employed at the mill, producing 9,360 tons of flour in a year.

The mill was built in 1873 on the Sosna River, near Liven, according to the project of Mikhail Adamov, the son of Fyodor Ivanovich Adamov. The construction required significant efforts but became overwhelming for Adamov the elder. On the day the hydro turbine was launched, it did not operate, leading to a nervous breakdown and the death of Fyodor Ivanovich.

After the project was revised, the mill began to operate, but the raised water level in the river flooded the mill of merchant Leonov, who sued Adamov. Despite the decision of the Yelets District Court in favor of Leonov, the Moscow Court Chamber ruled in favor of Adamov, which was confirmed by the Senate.

The mill brought good profits, and Mikhail Fyodorovich Adamov engaged in charity, financing the construction of churches, schools, and sanatoriums. He also contributed to the development of telephone communication in the city.

After the October Revolution, Adamov transferred his lands, shops, and mill to the new authorities and joined the city council. However, his house was confiscated, and he was left with one room. In 1922, Adamov moved to Yalta, where he soon passed away.

The mill was used until the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. Before the retreat of German troops, the equipment was dismantled and removed, and the building was partially destroyed. After the war, the mill was not restored due to a lack of equipment and a shortage of electricity, which was addressed by installing hydro generators.

In 1983, an attempt was made to create a recreation center, but the work was not completed due to a change in leadership. Currently, the mill buildings belong to OAO Prompribor, which restored the dam in 2012 and plans to improve the area.
