Stone mill mostly of fieldstone construction 2.5 stories high measuring 35'x60'. Windows are boarded primarily because it is now being used as a teen-center by the City of Bethlehem, hence to to eliminate window breakage and maintainence. Kids will be kids! Nicely restored exterior. Interior was not available for view at time of visit in Nov. 1987. Catshead evident on this gable end.

It appears the upper door was removed and rocked in when the west catshead was removed and the partial clerestory added.
