A smaller mill 2.5 story frame including a 1 story foundation of stone. Overall dimensions are approximately 30'x40'. It was in a run down condition in the late 80's, but in 1992, was in a far better condition. Rumors are circulating that the mill has either burned or been torn down. There does not appear to be any buildings where the mill used to be.
