The mill complex began developing in 1900 and the village was built in two phases tied to the two main mill buildings.","why_significant":"The district is significant locally under Criteria A and C, in the areas of Architecture, Community Planning and Development, Industry and Social History. It preserves the mill buildings, the intact historic street and lot layout of the village, and a range of Georgia house types built for mill workers, including saltbox houses that are rare in the state outside mill villages.","narrative":"Mandeville Mills and Mill Village Historic District occupies land west of downtown Carrollton, Georgia, and combines an industrial complex with the neighborhood built for its workers. The Carrollton Oil Mill was organized in 1898 and Mandeville Cotton Mill in 1899. They merged in 1902 as Mandeville Cotton Mills, Inc. The brick Mill #1 dates to 1900, and Mill #2 followed in 1908. The mills stand along the Central of Georgia rail line, and oil mill buildings such as gins, seed and meal houses and a warehouse sit to the east. Around them, the village was built in two phases, with one-story wood-frame houses on tree-lined streets that keep their original layout. House types include shotgun, double shotgun, saltbox, pyramid cottage and bungalow. Two churches and three stores also survive. The district was recognized for its architecture, its planned community, its industrial role and its social history between 1898 and 1953. In 1949 the company began selling village property, and the mill was sold in 1953.","period_of_significance":"1898-1953","architect_builder":"Joseph A.
