Building: Laurel Mill (Franklin County, North Carolina)

Built:
Provenance note:
Col. Jordan Jones built this gristmill circa 1850-1859, and probably built his home, the Italianate cottage also on the property, as well as a sawmill and cotton mill across the Sandy Creek.
Historical note:
The Jordan Jones House and Laurel Mill are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Architectural note:
The 2 1/2-story mill combines antebellum and later 19th-century elements. The gristmill is turbine-operated, and an overshot wheel was added in a 20th-century renovation.
