This four bay stone mill or factory dates from c. 1820-40. The 2.5 story plus basement was at one time also used partly as a place of worship.

The two dormers on the front and one on the rear along with the roof date from the 20th century, probably after it ceased operations in 1957 and was converted into a residence.

The conrete enclosure on the right end of the mill was probably the wheelpit supplied by a headrace or sluice box/penstock. The other end of the building has an outlet arch that has been filled in with stone.

The outlet arch is just to the left of the newer added chimney for oil heat.

The outlet arch can be better seen in this photo, just to the left of the chimney.

The miller's house, once called "Peoples-Ward House", across the road from the New Valley Woolen Mill. During its industrial operation, there was another mill next to this one, both across the road from the miller's house. It was also connected with two other mills downstream, one of which was the Rowlandsville Mill, now mostly torn down except for a few stone walls.

The mill was at times a grist mill with three run of buurstones, a saw mill, and a textile/woolen mill. This has been confirmed through 1858 and 1877 county maps that indicate a grist and/or saw mill on the site. Local tradition has the mill operating as a shoe peg factory. It ceased operations in 1957.
