This lovely old sandstone structure, dating to the 1800s, has sadly been left to crumble and is rapidly disintegrating. Situated close to the heart of Greenholme Mill, its once-proud decorated arches seem to signify a former importance as some sort of administrative block or foreman's office.

"Mill City Museum is a Minnesota Historical Society museum in Minneapolis. It opened in 2003, built in the ruins of the Washburn "A" Mill next to Mill Ruins Park on the banks of the Mississippi River. The museum focuses on the founding and growth of Minneapolis, especially flour milling and the other industries that used water power from Saint Anthony Falls.
The mill complex, dating from the 1870s, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is part of the St. Anthony Falls Historic District and within the National Park Service's Mississippi National River and Recreation Area."--from wikipedia

Originally constructed in 1798 along Lost Creek and was operated for four generations by the Rice family. The TVA purchased the land the mill stood on which was to be flooded. It was carefully disassembled and reassembled at its present site.

Quarry Bank Mill (also known as Styal Mill) in Styal, Cheshire, England, is one of the best preserved textile factories of the Industrial Revolution. Built in 1784, the cotton mill is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.
Quarry Bank Mill was established by Samuel Greg, and was notable for innovations both in machinery and also in its approach to labour relations, the latter largely as a result of the work of Greg's wife, Hannah Lightbody. The family took a somewhat paternalistic attitude toward the workers, providing medical care for all and limited education to the children, but all laboured roughly 72 hours per week until 1847 when a new law shortened the hours.
Greg also built housing for his workers, in a large community now known as Styal Estate. Some were conversions of farm houses, or older residences but 42 new cottages, including the Oak Cottages (now Grade II Listed), were built in the 1820s when the mill was being expanded.
The National Trust, which runs the mill and Styal Estate as a museum that is open to the public, calls the site "one of Britain's greatest industrial heritage sites, home to a complete industrial community". According to the Council of Europe, the mill with Styal village make up "the most complete and least altered factory colony of the Industrial Revolution. It is of outstanding national and international importance".
Now that we had a rain free day, I decided to try my goal: Ride from Downtown St. Paul to Downtown Minneapolis on my bike. (or close enough there.) This HDR turned out to be tricky. I took a series of pictures handheld. Then I had to sort through them to get a decent render.

My family and I found this cute little beach about 5km south of Bermagui, NSW. I used a handheld ND16 filter for this one. Got it on eBay for $2.
Another shot at the Grant Michigan Feed Mill. More tattered red tar paper! I think the amber colored light in the window adds a nice touch. Taken in Grant Michigan, just off of M-37.

A Step Back In Time Brought Dollywoodʹs Grist Mill to Life
More than 20 years ago, employees of Silver Dollar City (the park became
Dollywood in 1986) began work on a special project. Construction began on a working grist mill that would be built exactly as it would have been in the 1880s and the first fully operating grist mill built in Tennessee in more than 100 years.
What does it mean to build a structure as it would have been 100 years ago? It meant that the roof shingles were split by hand, and all the door hardware was created on site by park blacksmiths. The structure’s round logs were hewed by hand in front of the building site with holes drilled in the logs by hand using different size augers. The architectural shingles on the side of the building and all lumber were milled at the park’s sawmill which was then located in Craftsman’s Valley. The window panes were made by the park’s glassblowers, and each window frame was made on site using steam engine power to operate the five‐in‐one machine which is now located in the Valley Carriage Works wagon shop.
All work on the Grist Mill was done by then Silver Dollar City employees during the park’s operating season so that park guests could observe the process. It took six months to complete the mill, just in time for the annual fall crafts festival.
The Dollywood Grist Mill is a complete and fully operating mill where corn and wheat are ground into flour daily. Both are available for purchase by park guests, along with a variety of other goodies including the popular cinnamon bread.
In 2001, the Grist Mill was remodeled and the second floor was opened to the public.

The area known as Midway Mills, near the James River, was the first settled area (1774) of what is now Nelson County, Virginia (having been Goochland, Albemarle and then Amherst County). Sometime in the early 20th or perhaps late 19th century, quarrying began in the area, producing sandstone for building purposes (flagstone). I located part of what exists—down some dirt back roads of Nelson County. The mining community had its own post office and store. Apparently there are few signs of the mining area or community still existent. This was the old store—my informant said the trash can had been in the building for several years. Recently added, after the fact, to Explore for May 16, 2012 at #366--I'm grateful for Explore but I just don't understand why this photo.

There is a working watermill on the property using the waters of the River Dudwell, supported by volunteers.[5] The mill race drives the waterwheel outside, and this in turn drives the wooden cogwheels on the ground floor inside. These transfer power upstairs to the millstones. One pair of millstones is encased in wood and has a bell to warn the miller when the corn in the hopper runs out. In the grinding process the corn keeps the millstones apart, preventing sparks and a fire risk. The bell has a strap which is held down by a full hopper of corn. When the hopper is nearly empty, the strap is released, thus ringing the bell
