Old Foundation

The stabilized remains of the foundation for Lowry's Mill in Euharlee. Before the town became known as Euharlee it was known as Burge's Mill. It was named for Nathaniel Burke after he moved here from Gwinnett in 1834, purchased 800 acres of land around the creek and built a grist mill. Over time he sold land to other people who built or operated business in the area. Sometime between 1850 and 1860 he sold the mill  to Daniel Lowry II. A fire destroyed the mill around 1880 but Lowry rebuilt the mill. At some point the mill shut down and sat unused and falling in for many year. In 2014 the city began clearing brush and stabilizing the foundation.
