Pictures by: Robert T. Kinsey 05/02/2006 - This steel waterWheel is half buried in the ground on the rear upstream corner of the mill along Stony Creek. A large slab of concrete leans up against the 4' wide, 4' diameter wheel. The wheel seems to have been pulled out of its original postition and placed here. Upon examination of a picture from the 1920's of the mill, the wheel is where it originally operated. The concrete slab used to be vertical instead of leaning against the wheel, and supported the wooden flume box carrying water to the wheel. A shunt could close off the flume to bypass water out the side toward the photographer.
