This mill was operational during the civil war and was destroyed by the north on their way through Georgia. It's located at Sweetwater Creek State Park west of Atlanta.

Wow, that looks downright European.   I had to read the description twice lol.   Beautiful scene!   I bet it was sure fun to explore around there.

Nice capture.  That's a lot of bricks.  And is that a stream in the bg ?

Yes, it's a stream. About an 1/8th mile up stream they dug a diversion channel to direct the water to come down and through the building. The mill wheel supplied the energy for this mill which was for making apparel for the confederates. The Union came through Georgia and destroyed all the thread mills they came upon. This one was three stories tall and was rather unique.
