The sandstone/fieldstone structure of 3-5 stories measures about 40'X 60'. The Van Reeds operated the stone mill as a paper mill through the 1800's and a mill race once connected this mil to the Van Reed Paper Mill #2 about 1/4 mile north on the Cacoosing, just prior to its juncture with the Tulpehocken Creek.

An vintage view of basicly the same angle of the above picture. The mill sat vacant for many years,deteriorating until it was bought and converted into a home by Dick Weidman. Mr. Weidman owned the mill from 1972-2004, having started initially with a wreck with a few wooden milling pieces inside, gutting the interior and constructing a nice residence.

A view of the former paper mill, converted to grist mill and now a private residence, from Prendergast Road with Cacoosing Creek bridge down at the turn in the road.

The mill fronts on Prendergast Road. There may have been two or three additional doors above the one shown. The color of the stones above the existing door suggests a structural change.

The dam below the mill on the Cacoosing Creek is somewhat worn down with age and use, but still proves to be a pleasant location.

A vintage photo taken from a set of photos implanted in a six-pane window as the frame. A nice treatment with a different twist to display photos.
