[4] It was built in the 1890s and was named to the National Register of Historic Places on November 22, 1972.

[6] David Calliham, who was son of Nicholas Callaham and was born in Virginia, acquired land on Stevens Creek in Ninety-Six District, South Carolina, around 1768.

[7] In addition to the gristmill, a cotton gin and a flour mill have operated nearby.

He produced around 7,000 lb (3,200 kg) of white or yellow cornmeal in the early 1970s by operating three days a week.

He marketed the cornmeal under the mill's own label in McCormick and Greenwood County retail stores.

[2] A rock and mortar dam, which was built in the early 19th century, was used at the mill to impound Steven's Creek.

Power is produced by a steel turbine and is delivered by a 50 ft (15 m) long shaft to a wooden cartwheel gear below the mill building.
