The White House mill was situated about half a mile from the Ballindam mill in the town land of Tyban or White House. It was built in 1847.

The Ballindam mill was not successful because there was not enough water in the summer to keep it going.

James R. White, father of the famous field marshal Sir George White owned the estate at this time. His name was written above one of the mill doors. This mill was the last corn mill built in the Glens and by far the best.

There are two ranges of buildings containing a kiln house, stores and machines for grinding, shelling and winnowing the corn. These buildings are still in a good state of repair today.

The water supply to drive it came from the river Dun on which a carey was built about a quarter of a mile upstream and carried to the mill by a new laid.

James White brought a family from near his own home in Broughshane to operate the White House mill. This family was called McGregor and was associated with three of the mills in the area over the next sixty-five years.

The White House mill turned out to be something of a white elephant because less grain was being produced. William McGregor, who operated this mill at first, moved to Glenann mill after about twenty years and finally to Cushendall. His sons, John and Archy, worked the White House mill until it stopped milling corn in the 1880s.

It was derelict until 1918 when it was bought by Robert John Carey for £300. Flax was in greater demand at the time so Mr Carey built an extension to the mill for scutching. It did a good trade until the end of World War II.

Corn was still sometimes ground until it closed in 1952
