The mill is a 3.5 story frame former flour mill, 40'X 50' in size with additions on either side. Quite reminiscent of the way the Lantz Roller Mill probably looked in its prime years.

The town was first called Shryock, after an 1700's German-Swiss settler. The mill was built on the site of a gun factory built by the mill builder's father Philip Grandstaff. George Grandstaff built his mill in 1848 on the site of the early 1800's War of 1812 gun manufactury.

Scot-Irish iron workers flooding into the area in the 1850's were influential in changing the towns name a third time from Edenburg to Edinburg (after Scotland).

Preservation efforts in the 1970's and again in 2000, brought about the Edinburg Heritage Foundation. Coupled with the towns efforts, a radio station leases the top floor, the old restaurant is going to be scaled down, so that a transportation museum can be established with a visitor center, gift shop, and possibly an automated diarama or large screen historical programs can be shown as an attraction for Edinburg's Heritage visitors.
