Old House Since Collapsed

Above we see a decrepit old building I photographed on a field trip to Cedar Creek Battlefield in 1997. It was said to have been used as the headquarters of one of the generals and was on the field of a battle that took place near Miller's Mill.

	And here we see the ruins of that building in Spring of 2009. Only the end walls are standing, and they look ready to collapse. A local resident told us that this building was not the mill, which makes sense to me because the walls are not built as strong as walls of a mill should be.
	I was reminded of this on a battlefield tour on October 31. Here's a current view so you can see the ruins with less foliage masking it. Ramseur was mortally wounded near here (October 1864).

The ruins can be seen from Cougill Road at Mineral Street near Middletown, VA.
