Remodeled into apartments. The 3.5 story fieldstone mill was water powered and later steam powered. The mill was powered by Newtown Creek about one mile upstream from its joining with Neshaminy Creek. Another name for the 40x60 fieldstone edifice was "The Old Cologne Mill".
*UPDATE--April 13,1912 Newtown Enterprise. The Cologne Mill property was sold to Pierson Wilson, then to William R. Stuckert. Built in 1831 by Chapman Buckman on a site that had a mill long before. Reservations for water rights are on deeds that go back a least a hundred years for lots between the mill and the dam. In 1835, Mr Buckman built a large stone house at State and Barclay Sts., now the residence of Dr. Guerry. The mill's name dates from the ownership of Frederick Ellenger, who named it for the town he emigrated from, Cologne, Germany. **Jeff Marshall, 03/12/04**
