The 40'X 60' grist mill of 3.5 stories was contructed using red fieldstone as a building material. The building is quite handsome, being built on the ruins/foundation of the earlier Bailey Grist Mill in 1838, after the former mill burned.

The new mill had been known as the Levengood Mill when Samuel B. Wagener took over the operation in 1879. He changed the name to the "Glendale Flour Mills" after he purchased the mill and 12 acres along Ironstone Creek. The name Wagener Mill has also been used in the last century.

Mr Wagener grew up in Montgomery Township, learned milling in Perkiomenville in 1875 with E.S.Brey and the next year ran his own mill, Grubb's Mill, near Fegleysville which he operated til he bought the Levengood Mill in 1879.

He bought the complete Levengood farm in 1906, consisting of 65 acres. The miller's house was built in 1852 and is stone covered in stucco. Flour was sent to Pottstown, about 10 miles to the SE and sold in nearby townships also.

The current owner is Gorden Kratzer who purchased the mill in 1943. It is unknown when the mill ceased it's production, but was probably before 1943, as Mr Kratzer didn't know to much history of the mill.

NEW INFORMATION: I'm happy to say that my family and I have purchased the former Levengood mill in hopes of restoring it. Jennifer Reinford 03/12/2020
