Photography of the Great Falls Mill Ruins

The Richmond Mill was chartered in 1833 and was the seventh cotton mill chartered in North Carolina. It operated until 1865 when it was burned by Sherman’s troops. It was rebuilt in 1869 and renamed Great Falls Mill. It burned again in 1972.

Mike Newcomer and I ventured down to Rockingham, NC to photograph the ruins of the Great Falls Mill. All the Kudzu that covers the remaining ruins was dead so we were able to access the ruins and photograph the remaining structures and falls.
