The Shadow
The Waterwheel Restaurant at the Inn at Grist-mill Square in Warm Springs is featured in the November/December issue of “Cooperative Living” magazine.
Written by contributing columnist Daniel M. Walker, the two-page article in-cludes seven color photographs.
The facility was purchased in 2011 by John and Kate Loeffler who operate the restaurant seven days a week.
There has been a mill on the site since 1717 which was rebuilt in 1900 and is the focal point of the complex.
The historic structure includes space for nine guest suites and rooms and two of the 19th century buildings have eight morre suites and rooms decorated with antiques.
A wall siding and beams used in the original Fort Dinwiddie, built in 1755, make up one wall.
