This was a good sized mill of frame construction standing roughly 3.5-4 stories tall, 30'X 50' with an addition of frame 3 stories high on the north side. The Mill was located on the west bank of the Cottonwood River 0.5 miles north of Cottonwood Falls. The photo was taken from the north edge of the bridge over the Cottonwood River looking west to the dam and the control gates in the race channel. The block of stone wall on the left of the picture was the southwest pediment of the older steel arch bridge over the Cottonwood River. The large limestone building in the background, accessable from Mill St. is the Millstream Motel. The mill displayed an advertisement for D. C. Webb, a merchant of Strong City, on the mill roof.

Cottonwood Falls is the county seat of Chase Co. Kansas and probably the smallest county seat, area wise as well as population wise, in the country. The courthouse was built of white limestone in 1873.
