Pictures by: John Stevenson, Nov., 2004 - The former water-powered mill was built in 1876 by W.T. Petre. A water turbine from the Beatty Saugeen River transfered the waters power through the turbine, creating about 85 horsepower to operate the milling machinery. The turbine is still intact, but has not operated for 46 years. The Holstein dam is just east of the mill, impounding about 15 acres of water.

Pictures by: John Stevenson, Nov., 2004 - The tower portion of the rebuilt mill was added in 1960, as modern milling operations demanded change. The brick miller's house is visible just beyond the mill on the left of photo. The current owner/operators are John & Barb Stevenson, as it is an oparating feed mill. They provided the photos and information- Nov.14, 2004.
