What is "millwood"

Millwood may refer to:

Millwood is a historic plantation house and historic district on the east bank of the Black Warrior River, southwest of Greensboro, Alabama, USA. The house was built in 1830. It also served as a river hotel in the mid to late 19th century. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 26, 1989, due to its architectural and historical significance.

Millwood is the site and ruins of an antebellum plantation house at 6100 Garner's Ferry Road ( US 76), Columbia, South Carolina. Owned by Colonel Wade Hampton II and his wife Ann Fitzsimmons Hampton, it was the boyhood home of their first son Wade Hampton III and other children. He later became a Confederate general and later, South Carolina governor, and U.S. Senator.

After the death of Wade Hampton II in 1858, the house was inherited by his four unmarried daughters. On February 17, 1865, it was burned, probably by General Sherman's troops. On March 18, 1971, the ruins were named to the National Register of Historic Places.

The Millwood Station was a railroad station on the New York and Putnam Railroad in the hamlet of Millwood in New Castle, New York. It was located on Station Road just south of the southeast corner of the west end of the NY 120/ 133 overlap. Originally built by the New York and Putnam Railroad in 1881, this later became the Putnam Division of the New York Central Railroad. The original station house was built in 1888 but burnt to the ground soon after. The station was replaced in 1910 when the old Briarcliff Manor station was moved by flat car to the current location. The Putnam Line ended passenger service in 1962; the line was abandoned and now serves as the North County Trailway rail trail.

After the line's passenger use ended, the station variously served as a real estate office and fruit and vegetable market.

The station, which had fallen into a state of disrepair, was demolished on May 9, 2012 after it was determined that it would be too costly to repair. According to demolition workers, several support beams on the inside of the building had fallen down, and several others had nearly been eaten through by insects. The station was identical to the Ardsley, Yorktown Heights, Baldwin Place, and two other stations on the line.
