time. |

General Information:
Gilreath's Mill (at times also known as Heller's
Mill, Bruce's Mill, and Taylor's Mill) is located on South Carolina
Highway 101, near the town of Greer, South Carolina. The 2
1⁄2-story mill which sits on stone pillars[2] was likely built
ca1814, however, records can only confirm its existence as far back
as 1839.[3] It is one of the few remaining original mills that once
provided staple foods and provided a place for rural residents to
congregate. |
