Built on the historic Empire Cotton Oil Mill, Empire Mills encompasses the charm of the turn of the century property and blends the modern with the old. The 17,000 sq. ft. property includes the spacious 12,000 sq. ft. banquet hall, 4,000 sq. ft. multi-purpose room, and a cozy bridal or staging suite.Empire Mills was originally built in 1913 by the Empire Mills Cotton Company. The original cotton gin sits in the center of the property and has been transformed into a beautiful space suitable for a chapel, music hall or event space for up to 200 guests. The Banquet Hall runs parallel to the train tracks with many of the original bricks and bay doors still intact. With the addition of three enormous locally welded iron chandeliers, the Banquet Hall offers rustic elegance for events of up to 500 guests. It is flanked with an interior courtyard which features the original red corrugated metal blacksmith shed and antique syrup kettle fire drums. Also on property is a bridal cottage which served as the original office for the mill, and a separate room with loft space where the groom and groomsmen can relax in style with a wet bar, comfortable sofas and a flat screen television.Hallie Duan purchased the dormant property in 2012 and within the guidelines of the Georgia State Historic Preservation Division and the National Park Service, has renovated and restored this beautiful gem; while adding modern design elements and amenities.Within the property sits Hallie Jane's Catering.
