What at first looks like a small mill is larger than realized. The mill is 3.5 stories in the back along the creek and 2.5 stories in height in the front. Measuring about 40'X 55', the mill, constructed of light colored rock, is indeed larger than the wooded location indicates.
The mill is on a private estate, and permission should be obtained before investigating and taking pictures. The mill, which incidentally is in great condition, was in later years used as a garage and storage building. The drive way must have been made higher, because it would be had to get an automobile into the garage today.
The first visit was rainy, and some of the photos got water spots on them, so the visit was repeated the next morning in subdued sunlight. The years of operation, and history all need to be discovered. Anyone out there know something about this mill?
