The milling community known as Sam's Creek Mill Historic Distric developed around the present mill which was built c. 1875.

The present mill may be the latest of a series of mills at this site since the 2nd or 3rd decade of the 19th century.

The mill is built of 1.5 stories of Flemish bond brick about 4 thicknesses of brick (long way) thick on top of a single story of elongated fieldstone/shale type rock. The mill had frame additions on the north, east and south elevations; although, only the south elevation additions remain. The frame addition on the est side may explain the exposed buildingon that end. Perhaps the wall of the main portion of the mill was frame, including the addition on that end.

The last two-four feet of wall on both sides plus the entire back wall has crumpled away, including the rock foundation, some interior flooring & supports, and the roofing hanging without much support. Some gearing and other mechanisms are seen amid the rubble close the the roof in the exposed rear of the structure.

Another inside shot showing a large steel pulley on a shaft with another shaft to the left going off toward the upper left. Not certain which floor this is on. The roof is a gambrel type roof.

Looks to be a photo fromj inside the exposed lower, rock foundation level of a possible king/bull gear, with replacable wooden teeth, and a shaft with a bevel gear set on the shaft. ALso lots of junk items.

This picture shows part of the stone hoist out of position. Also the grain hopper situated above the wooden ecased stone set amid the heavy framing of the hurst frame.

Two millstones are braced against the northwest corner of the mill, facing Sam's Creek Road.

A prior mill is located on an 1808 Varle Map of Frederick Co at about the same location; this mill was called Landis Mill. About as much or less known about that one as is known about this mill..
