Pictures by: Jim Miller 11/02/92 - A smaller 30'x35' 2.5 story unpainted frame mill on a stone foundation. Once had an overshot wheel. Does have a small diameter penstock feeding it on the left side, rear. Looks like a barn but does have traces of the raceway. Now a private residence NW of Kralltown, Pa.
