The mill looked much the same in the mid-1930's as it did in 1987 at the time of the photo. The 30'X 35' stone mill is 1.5 stories plus a basement.

Most likely, it was Roger Hunt who built the mill in 1865; and, the last operator/owner was John T. Pollock. Mills many times are named after the later owners. HABS Number Survey Pa-170 from the 1930's.

It was known as Miller's Mill in 1810, Ringwalt's Plaster Mill 1865-1883, and a feed mill from 1900 on til closing before 1930's.

The scrap lumber ruins by the mill is the remnants of the office/scale building. The scale was still visible in 1987.

The Hunt Mill ruins,in Downingtown, were stabilized in 2007 as seen in the photo. The mill is in a state of decay but was not torn down. The damage is a result of the roof collapsing.

I visited the mill today (02/22/12) and took some pictures. The mill was not torn down as reported on your site, but it was and is in advanced state of decay since the entire roof collapsed. Ed R.

The Roger Hunt Mansion was located across from the mill at the corner made by Race Street. On the 2007 Google street map, the house was boarded up. Reports of the mill being removed, by Jess in 2010, must have meant the mansion was removed, as the stabilized ruins were still there in 2012, and the mansion had been replaced by two, four unit condos/townhouses. One condo on the house site and the other next to it on the west.
