The faded letters of Ortanna Roller Mills can still be read across the front of the mill.

The small 2 story frame house is actually a log house sided over, built in the early 1700's.

The mill, no longer in operation and though not quite as old as the house, probably stems from the late 1700's-early 1800's.
