Description
Starr Mill is in Fayette County, Hananiah Gilcoat. It was the first grist mill along Whitewater Creek, built in 1825. Hilliard Starr took over the property in 1866. Working the mill for 13 years, the Starr name has endured at both the mill and the community. Today the mill is recognized as a significant Atlanta Metro Area historic site.
The current mill, just over 100 years old, was the third mill constructed on the mill foundation. Dating back to 1907, the present mill was rebuilt by William T. Glower when the previous mill was destroy by fire. More than a grist mill, the Georgia mill site went on to power a cotton gin and supply electrical power to the nearby town of Senoia. The mill can be found about 25 miles south of Atlanta.
