I have made a few unsucessful attempt to discover more about the houses and when they were built. As luck would have it, they were built just outside the city limits at the time and there are few records, except a title chain. If anyone has any leads, I would appreciate it!

My friend and I explored Avon Court to see the road and discovered the most extensive collection of antique cars we'd ever seen. Were discouraged by potential of dogs and ticks, so will be back in the winter. Thanks, Steven, for the info.

Rolling is a later technology and most mills that endure switched from grindstones to rollers at some point. The advantage was that the rolling process (a series of steel rollers) could reliably produce a desired fineness of grist across a number of different cereals. Since it was designated "roller mill" it's likely that the stones had been replaced by the time the Sanborn Map was published. Roller mills were reserved for the milling of grains.

Long before Avon Street was "extended" the Scottsville road followed 6th Street SE, then crossed Moore's Creek into Albemarle County, floowing a now abandoned section of road it would around a hill connecting with present day Avon Court. The mill was located along the abandoned section of road. The mill site is located at the end of what is now Avon Court off Avon Street Extended.
