Photo Gallery: Mills HouseThis building is very well-kept, and appears to be new. This structure was built during the early 1850's for the
Lewis family on the northernmost boundary of what was the original town plan
of Griffin. Following the war, Mrs. Emily W. Lewis lived in the house with
her granddaughter, Lavonia Hammond. Miss Hammond married John B. Mills in
1878, and when Mrs. Lewis died in 1901, Mills purchased the house from her
brothers and sisters. When Lavonia Hammond Mills died in 1936, the house
passed out of the Mills family. The house was owned by a succession of
people and later rented for apartments, but it continued to be associated
with the Mills family. |
