Now that’s kool! I would love to rummage through that place! Whatever they did there , they did it a long time. Different people were there too. Very very interesting! Wish that buzzard wasn’t there. Would have liked to see more of upper level. Great job!

Definitely an old mill for grinding grains. What is/was the prominent crops grown in that area? That would likely be it. Corn, Wheat, etc. The shafts with the flat pulleys are called "Jack shafts". There would have been a wide flat belt that ran from them out to a water wheel if there was a stream or river close by. Or perhaps, a steam engine. I see a large electric motor that was probably a later installed item when electricity put steam "out to pasture". Look up steam powered farm equipment to see how the belts work. The thing you called a press is an oil dispenser (I think, as I didn't get a good look). It worked kind of like a old well pump. You put a bucket under the "faucet" to fill, any spillage would go back into the container underneath. And 1901 would be the early 20th century. Amazing to see how far we have come in 100 years.

Thank you for all that helpful information! I'm not sure if it was corn or wheat mostly grown here, but there is a stream close by and the river is a few miles away. I will definitely look up steam powered machinery, maby even revisit this place as it isn't too far from home. Thanks for watching and all your enlightening information!

I would think it was steam powered. Didnt see any kind of mill sluice around. Amazing place

Loved your tour of the old mill / shop. The structure still seems to be in great shape and structurally sound. Perhaps your local county courthouse or historical society might be able to shed some light on the origins of the building.

Crazy thing is among all the old timber framing is a 2x6 near the one jack shaft that has a pressure treated sticker on it like what you would buy today at lowes or Home Depot. Sometime more recently someone was there and braced that up with that board. I’m not sure when they started using those tags. I remember them in the 1990’s🤷🏼

@talesfromthenarcside8543 4 ай бұрын

Yes. I noticed some modern boards from the outside that had replaced some of the original..someone at some point made an effort to save thus structure.

@richardgray115 4 ай бұрын

There would have been one main power source like a steam engine or stationary gas engine that would drive the line shafts and each machine would take its power via a belt from the drive pulleys.

The Civil War ended in 1865... so.. 1880... is just 15 years later. They were still using steam locomotives at that time. All the equipment was belt driven, off one engine. Someone put a lot of work into building these buildings and machines at one time. As long as the roof will hold with absolute neglect, a barn will last forever. Gets covered in dust and rat poop though. When the roof starts to peel up from a wind storm, everything else quickly follows from water getting in and sitting and rotting. Haha, my mom stopped me to pull a tick off today, but it was just an oil smudge from me moving an old oil barrel in the jungle.

The surname Miller makes me think they are descendants of a mill worker and are still in the same profession generations later. In the past many surnames derived from the occupation of the person and handed down through generations.
