A fine limestone mill, currently and for the past 40-50 yrs. a dairy and beef barn. The 2.5 story, 30' X 45' structure has a connected 2 story stone 10'X 40' addition. The barn/mill is still in reasonably good condition. Some work is needed to stabilize the 2nd floor.

The now barn/mill on the farm of Palmer Halverson is located between Monona, Watson, and Volney in the northeast corner of Iowa. I could not learn much info/history of the mill workings.

This photo was quite difficult to get due to the steep, rutted terrain of the hillside and also due to looking into the sun.

The mill was built in 1871 as one can see on the datestone located high on the northwest corner of the sidewall of the mill. Mr. Halverson and his wife were delightful to talk with. The old mill has servived two or three tornadoes that have come ripping down the draw from the west, northwest.

A parting shot of the mill from the treacherous hillside. The Palmers were quite hospitable and are willing to show the mill, provided you ask permission prior to tromping around.

Directions: From center of town in Monona, Clayton Co., Iowa take B45 northeast for 2.5 miles. Turn left on Pleasant Ridge Road for 1.3 miles and angle left on Grouse Road. Grouse Rd. becomes Suttle Creek Rd. After about 2 miles of travel form Pleasant Ridge/Grouse junc., and after having crossed Suttle Creek, look for farm on the left with odd looking stone barn. Palmer Halverson mail box at end of lane.
