Verse for Thought
"And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment,....being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God."
({Philippians 1:9....11 NKJV})
The 4.5 story mill was originally 2 story stone with several stories of frame. It was rebuilt in 1888 from the stone portion upward with brick for 2.5 stories.
The catshead or sack hoist is located midway on the long side with a dormer of brick built into the 4th floor level. The mill size is roughly 45'X 65'. A very picturesque mill situated opposite the road from an historical stone dwelling that was for sale in 1999.
