The miller's house is on the left, a little larger now after various additions.

The mill was close to the miller's house, although nothing remains of the mill today.

The mill was once owned by Jonas Weller. This maybe a relative of the Weller that owned nearby Bechtel's Oil Mill at one time. Later the mill became known as Kummerer's Mill.

No history is know of this smaller stone house across the street. It could have been a small inn to accomodate farmers that might have to spend the night. Its proximity to the road and door central along the front might suggest an inn or tavern.
