Wood frame grist mill looks lot like a barn but it has a covered loading/unloading dock along the front side. It was built in 1851 by Charles Rutter Howard as a grist mill and also saw duty as a flour mill, since it was at times known as the Mulino Flour Mill. Charles' son, Bayne, joined his father in the running of the mill. **Info about father & son Howard provided by Ann Howard Wiley Breemer, the great granddaughter of Charles Howard-01/09/06**

The owners have historical papers dating back to before the Howard's arrival in Oregon. ***Update: Gary L. Rhea 06/13/05--A ledger on balance of accounts originally belonging to the Howard family of Mulino, Or. was sold at an estate sale in Auberry, Ca. recently documenting customers accounts starting in July 23, 1866 and continuing through 1873***
