Starr's Mill Dam

Senoia, Georgia

The property that became Starr’s Mill was owned by Hananiah Gilcoat who built the first mill here before his death in 1825. This site, on Whitewater Creek, was less than a mile from the boundary between Creek Indian lands and the State of Georgia. Hilliard Starr, who owned the mill from 1866 until 1879, gave the site its current name. After the first two log structures burned, William T. Glower built the current building in 1907. This mill operated until 1959, using a water-powered turbine, instead of a wheel, to grind corn and operate a sawmill. The Starr’s Mill site also included a cotton gin and a dynamo that produced electricity for nearby Senoia.

From the Georgia Historical Society marker at the site.

Hi Jim,

WOW! I can imagine people love this place for making pictures. Stil you managed to make a very special picture. Great composition.
It does not only imply a must-fav for you, but also the offer of a watch, if you do not mind it.

Good luck and good light,
