In 2013 the mill is in very poor condition. No equipment remains on the first floor. The wheel is still attached to the mill on the creek side.
All pictures of mill interior were taken from the edge of the road.
A possible tailrace exiting from the mill structure.
The rather large wooden overshot waterwheel with steel buckets and rim as seen from the grassy area across the creek.
The end of an era. For safety's sake it must come down. More to bring down.
A view of the waterwheel using a zoom feature of the camera.
The overshot waterwheel as zoomed up from the road edge, through the semi open structure.
The wheel in remarkable condition , considering the mills condition.
A line shaft and some grain chutes within the mill as photographed from the road.
More chutes.
Possibly a cob grinder farther back, fed by a wooden chute.
