History and architectural features
The mill was built in 1825 and is a two-and-one-half-story, rectangular, stone, banked building with a gable roof. The building replaced an earlier mill that was located on the same site. The miller's house is a "T"-shaped, stone and brick dwelling that was built in 1784 and enlarged in the late 1800s.[2] The mill is located approximately 1/4-mile from the Rieser-Shoemaker Farm.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
