Verse for Thought
"The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing."
({Zephaniah 3:17 KJV})
The 4 story limestone/stuccoed mills original structure measures approximately 60'x60'. An addition of 40'x60' limestone and cement block, also cream colored stucco, stands 3 stories in height. The top of the original building sports a mansard roof with 5 each windows on two sides. A smokestack of brick/stuccoed indicates probably steam operation was somewhere in the past.
The original front of the mill now faces an alley/parking lot and the windows have all been enlarged to about 7'x10'. The 4th floor door is still present, but the other 3 doors on the 3 levels have been changed to windows.
