This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.171.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 December 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Henry River Mill Village''' is a small textile [[village]] in [[Burke County, North Carolina]].  It is an unaltered, but now-decaying example of an early industrial environment in Burke County. Today, the remaining buildings of the Henry River Mill Village are traces of the industrial heritage of the county.

Built as a [[planned community]], the village was a self-contained complex with its own mill, dam, water and fire-protection systems, and [[company store]]. In later years, the village gained amenities such as walkways, terraced green spaces, and field stone retaining walls. Today, most of the village's original buildings remain sited along a small [[Canyon|gorge]] of the Henry River, just west of [[Catawba County, North Carolina]].

The site is private property but can be driven through via Henry River Road. It is located a short distance from [[Interstate 40 in North Carolina|Interstate 40]] via an exit near [[Hildebran, North Carolina|Hildebran]].  The site was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 2019.<ref name="Weekly list 20190510">((cite web |title=Weekly List 20190510 |url=https://www.nps.gov/subjects/nationalregister/weekly-list-20190510.htm |work=National Register of Historic Places |publisher=National Park Service |date=10 May 2019 |accessdate=29 June 2019))</ref>

==History==
===20th century===
((more citations needed|date=July 2019))
In 1904 Michael Erastus Rudisill laid out the mill and village on a 1,500-acre tract, chosen for its hydro power potential. Rudisill, along with his brother Albert Pinkney Rudisill, built the village and engineered the dam and mill building along with David William Aderholdt, Miles R. Rudisill, and Marcus Lafayette Aderholdt.

The mill was incorporated as the Henry River Manufacturing Company. The company manufactured fine cotton yarns. Beginning in 1905, a 30-foot reinforced concrete dam was constructed with a three-story brick mill building. In its early years, the mill operated 4,000 yarn-making spindles. By the time it shut down in the late 1960s, the mill had 12,000 spindles and produced fine combed yarn for lace.

The residential area of the village consisted of approximately 35 small worker's cottages. These 1-1/2 story duplex houses were laid out along the steep contours of the river's northern bank. The workers lived in boarding houses or workers' cottages built by the company, which were leased at nominal fees.

Around 1907 the four mill owners, the Rudisills and the Aderholdts, built new homes for themselves just outside the village. Although one burned in 1935, three of the four houses are still standing today.

Since the loss of the main mill building, the centerpiece of the village today is the two-story brick company store building. This building served as a mill office with the upper floor used as a school room and for church services from 1907-1917.

In 1912 a steel truss bridge engineered by the Rudisills was built across the Henry River. When built, it was reputed to be the highest bridge in the state. During the 1916 flood this bridge was one of the few not destroyed. In 1960 a new concrete bridge replaced the steel truss bridge.

The Henry River Mill originally ran on waterpower. In 1914 a steam plant was installed then in 1926, the mill was converted to electric power.((citation needed|date=July 2019)) The mill closed in 1971 and was purchased by Wade Shepherd in 1976. Shepherd owned other mills and intended to restore the mill when it burned in 1977; [[lightning]] was the suspected cause.<ref name=Milling/>

===21st century===
The mill and village were put on the North Carolina Study List of the [[National Register of Historic Places]]. Late in 2002, through the Burke County Partners in Economic Development's Heritage Preservation Committee, efforts began to explore development of the historic site.

The 72-acre village was a filming location of "District 12" scenes of the 2012 film ''[[The Hunger Games (film)|The Hunger Games]]''.<ref>((cite video|url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SR4CrHw9Eo |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/5SR4CrHw9Eo |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|title=Hunger Games: Philip Messina|accessdate=May 8, 2012))((cbignore))</ref><ref>((cite news|url=https://www.salisburypost.com/2018/09/26/once-a-hunger-games-backdrop-mill-village-still-a-treasure-for-images-memories/|title=Once a ‘Hunger Games’ backdrop, mill village still a treasure for images, memories|last=Wineka|first=Mark|work=[[Salisbury Post]]|date=2018-09-26|accessdate=2018-09-26))</ref> In the wake of the film's release, The SyFy Channel’s show “Hollywood Treasure” estimated the value of the property at more than $1.2 million in 2012<ref>((Cite news|url=https://www.hickoryrecord.com/news/no-bids-offered-to-buy-henry-river-mill-village/article_9aa1628e-2be3-59f8-ba4f-3118ddf57334.html|title=No bids offered to buy Henry River Mill Village|last=McBrayer|first=Sharon|work=HDR ((!))

In 2017, the abandoned property was purchased by local residents whose vision is to create a "Henry River Mill Village Business District" to highlight the history of the site.<ref>((Cite news|url=https://www.hickoryrecord.com/news/new-henry-river-mill-village-owners-focus-on-renovating-property/article_0f4f45a5-2431-5162-a07b-5b7363740706.html|title=New Henry River Mill Village owners focus on renovating property with community’s help|last=Willis|first=Emily|work=HDR ((!))

The company store was damaged by a [[tornado]] late in 2017, but because the windows had been broken by vandals, thus dissipating air pressure, major damage to the building was averted. The new owner, Calvin Reyes, has plans to turn that building into a restaurant. Twenty of the thirty-five mill houses remained, and twelve more were to be added, to be occupied by tourists. Mill artifacts would be placed in a museum.<ref name=Milling>((cite news|url=https://www.citizen-times.com/story/life/2018/08/11/hunger-games-henry-river-mill-village-restore-asheville-north-carolina/884756002/|title=How the 'Hunger Games'' Henry River Mill Village is being brought back to life|last=Milling|first=Marla Hardee|work=[[Asheville Citizen-Times]]|date=August 11, 2018|accessdate=July 2, 2019))</ref>

The town was featured in season 1 episode 4 of In With The Old 10-22-2021 where the Reyes family (the new owners of the village) were refurbishing one of the original mill houses.
