Four Seasons at the Old Mill

The Old Mill, on Shades Creek in Mountain Brook was subject of a number of post cards. A restored mill restored to a tea room and club house in an area of bridal paths, it became a private residence with the development of the area as an exclusive residential area. The pedestrian bridge was taken by a flood in 2005.
