A 3.5 story grist mill plus attic built in 1769-70. The mill burned in 1808, and also in 1856, but was rebuilt and operated, using an interior Fitz waterwheel until 1951. The mill complex includes the miller's house, a blacksmith shop, and the wheelwright's house. A 1000' long headrace was dug by hand through slate.
Since 1951, the mill has been converted for use as a fine restaurant and inn. The whole town has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Many of the old buildings have been restored and converted to approriate uses to meet todays needs. The owners in 1996 were SPOOM members Cordie and Charles Puttkammer. Address: PO Box 359, Hope, NJ 07844 Ph: 908-459-4884. All SPOOM members will be given a special welcome.
