Pictures by: Robert T. Kinsey    02/17/2006 -  The first mill structure was built in the early 1740's.  From the photo, one can see a bridge carried the road across the creek right beside the mill, either a covered bridge, stone arched, or open wooden bridge.  Perhaps later it was changed to a steel girder bridge before removal.
