The three doors on the gable end of the mill. The mill converted to steam power in 1887, after the mill had been in the Lehman family for over a century. Four generations of Lehmans concluded in 1969, when the operation was sold to Better Foods Foundation, Inc. Henry's son & grandson, both named William Barton Lehman were the last two generations of Lehmans to own & run the mill.
