In 1992, the mill was only 4 connected walls as the photo shows. *Update: The mill was built by John H. Lick in 1883, and was was sold to Charles W. Yost in May 1911. Mr Yost operated the mill until his death in 1920 after he got caught in the grind stones. It then operated as a gas station for a number of years, Sat empty for a few decades and was then torn down.
