Welcome home to your own piece of Greenville area history. This property has been completely renovated, leaving some of its historic charm but updated with the latest amenities. This home was in the Gilreath family since at least 1931. Gilbreath historic mill located directly across the street from the main home was likely built in 1814 and has been maintained for years as a local piece of history. Perry D. Gilreath served in the 16th South Carolina Regiment of the Army. He was elected  Sheriff of Greenville county in 1877 where he served until his death in 1900.  While we do not have all of the history of the mill or this home we have found deeds dating back to 1839, (although likely built earlier), on the mill, and 1931 on this home. PD GIlreath took over the mill in 1890 and started producing wheat flour for the rural communities in the area.The mill has been maintained by the Gilreath Mill Foundation since it was donated to them in 2007. Although this mill does not transfer with the home the property will forever have its roots in providing for the local community from the early 1800’s and this home was part of that history.
