Taken: November 1, 2008
Caption: Remains of the old Glendale Mill
Additional Description: The mill burned down in 2004. Only a few smokestacks, towers, and a building remain. Like the old iron works, the mill was founded on the banks of Lawson's Fork because it provided power to the mill in the form of a water wheel. The mill was founded in the 1830's by James Bivings. County records show he bought many tracts of land in the area including the site of the old iron works. In 1856, it was bought by Dexter Converse whom founded nearby Converse College.
