REX MILL ~ Although the mill has not functioned for decades, many long term residents of the area still remember it being in operation. In the early 1930's, farmers used to bring their grain by horse pulled carriages to be processed at the Mill. It sits along the banks of the Big Cotton Indian Creek in Clayton County. It was built in 1830 by I.L. Hollingsworth, and named after his dog, Rex. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

MaryAlice, You are so lucky living in the middle of all these historic places. So much stories, mysteries and happiness and drama is hidden inside the walls of all histric places. If just the walls could talk..Anyway it is wonderful that these buildings still stand and can be admired by our generation and hopefully many more to come. Thank you for sharing..you are such a great friend Take care and have a great Saturday evening. Cheers from Florida and one day Arizona hahah, Harri

Good Morning, my sweet friend, Harri! How great to hear from you.

I guess you could say that I'm lucky living here in middle Georgia, but I could say that you are lucky as well. I think we all have our own special benefits and unique advantages from the places that we live. It's so much fun getting to see and enjoy what every person has to offer from their specific place in this world. I just can't wait to enjoy all that you're going to have to show us when you're out there in Arizona soon. =)

Thank you for enjoying yet another old historic Mill from Georgia. I'm so happy that you liked the shot.

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead,

Mary Alice

P.S. I had Ice Cream last night & thought of you! ;)

Hello MaryAlice... What a great find uh!! How interesting..The old mill, an overshot type, deserves to be preserved and if the money can be found, put back into use..

There are many such mills in the UK that have been completely re-furbished and are treasured by the community.. Such buildings lend themselves to house interesting artefacts from yesteryear and make a small charge to view!!

By the way MA..I didn't know that you were so talented dead ringer

Kind regards and a big hug ;>))

JIM! How wonderful to hear from YOU! =) I am all smiles!

Thank you for your attention to this old Mil. I think it is so beautiful. Only a few weeks ago the Atlanta news did a big story on the Mill and the area, as it seems that our president's great, great, great grandmother was from the city of Rex. How amusing, for until discovering this Mill, I had never even heard of Rex Georgia before.

I think it's grand that the UK restores it's old treasures and the community can actually benefit and learn from them. I wish we did more things like that around here.

Thank you again so much for stopping over and making my evening complete. It's always a pleasure hearing from you!

My very best to you,

Mary Alice

P.S. I sent this video to my Mom, and we both agree that it looks far more like my sister, but I can see why you though she looked like me! ( my sister and I look alike in many ways, only she has dark hair where mine is light, and she is 5'4 and I'm 5'9. ) How very funny! We both enjoyed it greatly. =)

. . . . And I wrote you back in that other place! =)

My sweetest friend from so far away, its lovely to wish you a goodnight! My evening is just beginning. =)

My mother does not share photos on Panoramio, though I have encouraged her to consider it. I think she'd have a pile of fun, especially if she got to talk to people like YOU! =)

I wish you a wonderful night with sweet dreams and warm, cozy rest.

Thank you for dropping back by!

Your GA girl

Greetings, TAOY, and thank you so much for your visit to this old mill. Indeed, it was built in 1830. It's hard to think back that far, isn't it? It was certainly a time that I never knew.

I appreciate your interest and kind words so much.

Please do come back again anytime.

Best wishes to Japan from the USA,

Mary Alice

Greetings, Liam, and thank you so much for the Yellow star on this shot so many, many day ago. Somehow I completely missed your visit, probably when Pano was not sending out e-mail notifications. I am so sorry for the delayed thanks, but I certainly am greatly appreciative. =)

Spizaetus, Los saludos, y le agradecen tanto por sus palabras buenas. Soy tan feliz que usted no sólo gozó del tiro, solamente la información también. Esperaba ayudar a la gente a entender la historia de este lugar maravilloso, y estoy tan alegre que lo hice. Gracias otra vez por parar cerca y dejar tales palabras encantadoras.

Greetings, Pivatana, and thank you very much for stopping by and enjoying this old mill and it's history. I really appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again sometime. Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Thank you all for your kind words,
