Rex Mill in Jonesboro, Georgia is a grist mill that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1979.[1]
It was likely built sometime between 1820 and 1860 by I. L. ("Touch") Hollingsworth, who is known to have owned the mill in 1880.[2]
It is located on Cotton Indian Creek at Rex Road, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of Georgia Highway 42.[2]
It is believed to have always been painted red, except once briefly silver but repainted red due to outcry.[2]
