Pictures by: Jim Miller    10/29/1987 -  *Update:  This mill was accessed from the river as well as the road out front; hitherto, something not mentioned in the literature.  I know of only a few such mills in the USA that are built this way.  Sometime in this mill's early history, grain was brought to the mill by boat and flour was shipped also by boat down the Delaware River.  Five mill doors with a catshead atop, an incredible picture of access to this mill.   I haven't as yet found any early pictures of such mill access from streams.
