A 40'X 55', 3.5 story stucco over stone mill situated in a narrow strip of land between US 206 and Netcong-Flanders Road.
The big maple tree in front has been removed since 1992.
This mill has an almost twin downstream in Flanders about 0.5 miles.
Now used as a curio and Christmas Shoppe at 150 Rt 206, Flanders, NJ 07836
During its early operation, a horse team and wagon were employed to haul and deliver.
The mill was powered by a tributary to Drakes Brook. *Update: The tributary to Drakes Brook is properly called Flanders Brook. It flows parllel/south with US 206 and its confluence with the Drakes is just downstream from the mill. Aaron Bechtel 11/28/2009*
