A sandstone/brownstone mill 40'X 55' in dimension. Had at one time been an additional story higher, but was probably lowered when it was converted to apartments sometime after 1921, when the dam washed out and miller, Robert Emig closed the operations completely.

The mill was built by Jacob & Mary Emig in 1825. The stone dam upstream provided 13' of drop to power two overshot wheels, each wheel powering two stones for flour and two stones for feed respectively. Gabriel Emig inherited the mill operation from his father in 1892 and Reuben Emig took over in 1899.

Knowing little about milling, he hired a man named Beaverson as miller; together revamping the mill and raceways. Reuben's skill at milling improved, and he was soon forced to install a steam engine to run a boiler and replaced the two flour stones with two roller mills. Reuben's nephew, Howard Emig, next tried his hand at running Emig's Mill in 1915.

He did quite well, building up a thriving custom milling business; which in several years time,was turned over to Reuben's son, Robert. The dam was a continual sore in the operation, requiring constant upgrading. It was taken out in a 1921 freshet and milling ceased even though some power was provided by the steam boiler. The date stone on the roadside gable end of the miller's house uphill of the mill.

Renovated in 1977 and in 1992, the mill was in very good condition and being used as an apartment complex.
