The old mill's owner, Larry Walker in 2012, relayed the info about Centre Point's location. The house and mill, and possibly the old barn further back on the property, are the last vestiges of the once community of Centre Point on Straight Creek. The community stood on the township line of Pleasant & Union Twps. The community had a store, schoolhouse, stockyard, blacksmith shop, livery stable, and various other homes at the turn of the 19th century.

The foundation on the right, front side of the mill can be compared in this photo and in the next photo of the standing mill. The light/dark area is most notable.

Mr. Walker purchased the mill in the 1970's during an estate sale. The mill needed some new support posts, especially on the lowest level, where posts were in contact with soil. An earthquake damaged some of the foundation in 1986; stone not having as much give and flex as lumber.
