This mill was situated on Harry Lutz's farm in the 1950's on Kirk Road south of Stony Run Valley Road at Albany Station.

The 35'X 65', 2.5 story fieldstone mill is located just north of the confluence of Stony Run and Maiden Creek. The water for power came from Maiden Creek, then the tailrace probably emptied into Stony Creek, then flowed immediately into Maiden Creek, its origin.

Some 1950 information mentioned that Stony Run merged with Ontelaunee Creek. Perhaps earlier, this section was called Ontelaunee Creek; however, current maps substantiate Kistler Creek and Ontelaunee Creek merging to form Maiden Creek about 1.5 miles upstream of Lutz Mill.

* Update: I saw a picture of the Lutz Mill in Albany Twp., Pa. That building was originally a tannery (tanyard) owned by Levan, shown on an old map of Berks County around 1814. The land was originally owned by Thomas Penn. Water used from a dam upstream on the Stony Run, went into deep tannery troughs in the basement. Later the troughs were filled to floor level with coal ash. Judy Simon 08/09/2013 *

A stoned filled-in arch with short channel walls, indicating that probably the water of Maiden Creek entered the then open inlet arch via the headrace, some stubby stone remains on each side of the arch.

The long, western exposure of the mill, seems to suggest that instead of being a mill converted to a house, it may have been a mill/house conbination under one roof.

Many of the locals didn't know the name of the mill, only that it had been a mill. A history of Albany Township indicated that a mill was located on the Harry Lutz farm at Stony Run's junction with Ontelaunee Creek (actually Maiden Creek as explained above).
