The 35'X 45' mill built of pink quarried rock remains essentially the same as it did at the turn of the 20th century minus the mansard roof plus wrap-around porches on three sides. No milling equipment remains in the structure.

The rear view of the old mill, originally powered from the water source supplied via canal from North Creek. A gentleman at the Beaver Chamber of Commerce related how, as a boy, he would walk from Main St. to the mill pond at a splash falls on the canal from North Creek to fish. He usually had the pond to himself and was many tiomes rewarded for his efforts with a fine mess of rainbow trout.
