Click image to enlarge. The circa 1870 Braswell grist mill harkens to the days when freshly ground corn meal and flour were an integral part of everyday diets for people in rural Alabama. The frame two-story gabled structure retains a great deal of its original charm. With front Dutch doors and re turned cornices in the gables, the quaint building is surrounded by a bucolic landscape of rolling hills, meadows, and hardwoods. One of only a handful of comparable mills left in the state, the Braswell Mill is abandoned and in desperate need of attention to prevent its demise. An imaginative renovator might turn this property in to an antique shop, a country store, an office, a vacation home, or a museum.
