Ruins Of Alabama Frontier Paper Mill Unearthed by Research
Gulfcrest residents long ignored the ruins of a long neglected stone mill on Camp Roberts Rd. Research by Eloise Bryan uncovered that the structure is Alabama’s oldest newsprint and paper mill, likely starting in 1865 or 1866 and ending in 1878. It operated with water power from a dammed stream and employed local labor for pulping and paper making.
