I'm currently studying this mill site... the Powder Mill. I believe that most evidence of it has been obliterated by Wake Forest Rd and some parking lots? Also, there is some confusion in my head anyway, on the old maps. The Powder Mill seems to shift around and cross the creek and etc. Today, I walked down there. I believe the remain of a dam are visible right on the Northeast side of the Wake Forest Rd bridge. And there is a pool of some sort built on that side that may date to the 1860's, though it definitely has modern renovations as well. All the pieces don't fit yet, but I'll post some stuff on the "you know you grew up in raleigh" facebook group.
