Stein Mill
North of Kutztown on Pa 737 about 2-2.5 miles, between Long Dam Road and Kutz Mill Road along Mill Creek.
The 3.5 story tan & grey sandstone mill structure measures about 37'X 48' in area.
The Federal style mill was built in 1857 by Adam Stein. It is the third mill on the site, as earlier mills were owned and operated by Kremer and Laab.
Adam Stein also operated a nearby Stein's Distillery and built Stein's Tavern on Pa 737 toward Kutztown. A stone cabin used for many years as a warehouse for the rye whiskey distillery and believed to have been the oldest building in the township is no longer standing.
The mill hss been placed on the National Rigister of Historic Places. The mill now operates occasionally as a antique gallery. Seek permission before taking pictures other than from the roadway/highway.
