Hyde Mill, located near Ridgeway and Dodgeville, Wisconsin is one of the oldest (1850) watermills in the state. And, it's for sale. I am trying to photograph it during all of the seasons. Summer was easy, but the last two autumns in southern Wisconsin have not been good...maybe this year.
The Old Mill is not actually as old as it appears. In 1933, Justin Matthews contracted for the construction of a replica of an old-water-powered grist mill. He did not set out to copy any preexisting mill, but instead chose to design something that would fit with the contour of the area. He wanted the mill to appear as if it belonged in Arkansas and had been here since the 1800s. The Mill is intended to appear neglected, just as old mills that were in service in the early 1800's had become by the 1930's.
The old South isn't completely gone with the wind in North Little Rock. A short drive from McCain mall will bring you to a quiet, tranquil place that looks like something from an old movie. As a matter of fact, it was featured in the opening scene of Gone With the Wind. It's believed to be the only remaining structure from that film. So, put on your hoop skirt, grab your parasol and your "twiddly dee dee" attitude and come for a visit.
Graue Mill was a major center of economic life during the 19th century and was also used by Fred Graue to hide runaway slaves on their journey to freedom in Canada. President Abraham Lincoln reportedly visited Graue Mill during a trip from Chicago to Springfield. Three generations of the Graue family operated the mill for 60 years until modern milling methods rendered the old mill obsolete and the building was abandoned.
Big Mill, Mill Street, Leek, Staffordshire, c1860.
By William Sugden (1821-1892).
For Lovatt & Gould, silk manufacturers.
Grade ll listed.
The mill is an important example of large-scale building for the silk industry, and represents one of the earliest mill buildings on this scale in Leek. It is also a good example of the mill-style developed by William Sugden, the leading mill architect at work in Leek at this time.
Built in 1863, Tingler's Mill was known for it's overshot wheel, a rarity in the area at the time since most mills were built much closer to their water source.
A small stream feeds the mill pond, which is way above Potts Creek that flows past about twenty feet below the mill.
These pipes carry the water from the mill pond to the wheel.
