Milling machines were once most important in rural America, as most good size communities had at least one mill. They were also favorite meeting places for outings, with the nearby water beckoning swimming. Today they are favorites of photographers. Can you figure out where this mill is? If so, send your idea to elliott@brack.net and include your hometown.
Only one reader recognized Friday’s mystery photo, that of the Templeton Library in Sewanee, Tenn. But the “library” is not a library, as Heather Sawyer of Johns Creek explains. “It sits at the edge of the Cumberland Plateau near the University of the South. It was built by the Templeton Foundation and it’s my understanding that it was never used as a library and now houses apartments for rent. The building overlooks the valley where John Templeton, financial investor and philanthropist, was born.” The photograph was sent in by Lou Camiero of Lilburn.
