Carson-Andrews Mill and Ben F.W. Andrews House, 19th-century mill and residence in Washburn, North Carolina.

The Carson-Andrews Mill is a two-story timber structure with an attic, standing next to the Ben F.W. Andrews House, which has a two-tiered porch. The mill building shows solid timber framing, while the residence displays Colonial Revival architectural features throughout.

The mill was constructed between 1830 and 1835 and provided grain processing services to the surrounding community. It operated as a working facility until the early 1930s, when it gradually ceased its milling operations.

The mill and the Ben F.W. Andrews House stand on the same property, so grain grinding and family life happened in one place. The house was built around 1904–1908, decades after the mill, and its Colonial Revival porch faces the working mill. The landscaped grounds, flower house of about 1908–1910 and privy show the full domestic setting around the mill.

The site is located at the intersection of NC 1007 and NC 1796 and is straightforward to reach by car. You can walk around both buildings and explore the original outbuildings on the property at your own pace.

The water wheel from 1897 is still in place and shows how water power turned the machinery that ground the grain. The flower house and outhouse remain as part of the original complex, giving a complete picture of how people lived and worked here.
