Zedler's Mills
We found an abandonded saw mill outside of Luling
it was great, ... it was along side the [San Marcos ] River you
can walk right up to it, of course you wouldn't have wanted to go
inside, the historical marker said it had been abandonded since
1960... - Rodney Stegall, November 08, 2005
Photographers' Note
Subject: the Zedler saw mill in Luling
I saw a mention of this on your Luling
page, and with the phrase "of course you wouldn't have wanted to
go inside... abandonded since 1960" How could I pass it up. :) It
is a really cool mill - three or four large "mill" buildings and
three barns in the back - quite a large site. I think they rent
tubes there in the summer for floating on the river. I was there
on the 13th when it was raining real bad, so there wasn't anyone
around. I wandered around taking pictures for a couple of hours
before I was too cold and wet to stay around. I didn't go inside,
the buildings were locked up too well, there was enough to photograph
from the outside. Attached are a couple of my favorites from that
day. Have a great day! - Justin

An adapted Model
T chassis provided power - perhaps for the mill's lighting. 55 Gallon
drum (left) acted as an over-sized radiator.
