Spring Castle - Rock Island State Park - Rock Island, Tennessee

The Spring Castle, located adjacent to the former Great Falls Cotton Mill within Rock Island State Park, is one of the few remaining structures from the late 1800's apex of the textile mill industry in south central Tennessee. The "castle", which is essentially a larger version of a spring house, was used by the cotton mill's workers for refrigeration. It was probably built in the 1890's. While this structure alone is not listed, it was included in the listing of the Cotton Mill on the National Register of Historic Places on August 26, 1982.

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
