The 3.5 story frame mill on a stone foundation sought its power from Stovall's Creek via a steel overshot wheel, still in place.

The mill sports a gable roof, most equipment intact inside in 1989. The words in front above the second story windows can barely be made out to read 'Brightwell's Mill'.
