The complex consists of three interconnected early-20th century buildings of similar size and construction. The grist mill was built about 1905, is an example of small independent grist mills that were commonplace in rural communities across the South. The blacksmith shop and bottling plant, built about 1921, are typical of early-20th century light industrial buildings. The complex supplied the local agricultural sector with essential goods and services for nearly a century.[1] [2]
