Hello friends!!
You all are MY PEOPLE. I've just joined SPOOM last week, at the advertisement and invitation of Chuck Ketchie, in North Carolina! There is NOTHING in the world I love as much a historic watermills. I am a historical landscape designer for an engineering firm, and I am taking my licensure exams to become a licensed historical landscape architect specifically so that I can help preserve historic mill sites.
I am currently putting together a collection of historic postcards of mills just to have as many images as I can of them and also to enjoy the written stories of the friends of old who sent the cards to other people. <3 <3 There is, however, one postcard that I am actively seeking, and have been watching for for several years without any luck finding it. It is a postcard of my very favorite mill site, and actually my very favorite historic site in the whole world - Lassiter Mill, in my home town of Raleigh, NC. The gristmill building is no longer standing, but the foundation, spillway, dam, one turbine, and a large stone signage structure from the adjacent lumber mill are still present.
I'm sharing an attached image to ask if any of you have ever come across this card, or to ask if you do, and would be willing to part with it, I would happily pay you for it and proudly add it to my collection as my most treasured card. I thank you so much for taking a look at it and keeping your eye out for it on my behalf!!! Looking forward to connecting more in the future. All my best!!
