The mill, built in 1856, measured 36' X 50' with an addition on the west side. The mill was a post and beam timber frame with clapboard siding, on a rubble stone foundation. The semi-circular tail race arch is still visible. No equipment remains in the mill.

A photo of the mill, probably from the 1940-1950 time period. The mill had yet to lose siding.

The mill just seemed to fall over from the northwest to the southeast in in a windstorm in 2007.

Govt. records show the mill was owned and ran by Edward Hellyer Jr. in 1922. He manufactured the well known "Morning Glory Flour" along with a variety of feed. The mill was part of the Berwick Forge and Juniata Rolling Mill complex. The forge and mill complex began in 1838 on the south side of the Juniata River. In 1845 the operation was expanded to the north side of the river.

In the late 1840's, the complete iron works was moved to the north side. The enterprise continued to expand in the 1850's with the addition of a grist mill, saw mill and a plaster mill. By 1860, employment rose to 90 men. The business was now known as the Juniata Iron Works.

Only the grist mill continued to operate and soon was known as Hellyer's Mill. During the 20th century, the mill produced electricity for the Alexandria - based Wilson Electric Co. The feed mill operations continued until the late 1950's. Edward Hellyer died in 1953. The headrace going into the mill is seen in the photo.
