History and architectural features
Built in 1859, it is a four-story, rectangular, banked, stuccoed, fieldstone structure with a gable roof. It measures 42 feet (13 m) by 45.5 feet (13.9 m).[3]
The current building stands on the site of earlier mills, the first dating from 1710. The mill ground flour until the late 20th century, when the flour business was moved to Berks County.[4]
