Description

This is a water-powered corn mill built around 1850. It is constructed of red brick and features pantile roofs. The building has two storeys and consists of two sections: the mill and the wheelhouse. The windows are cast-iron casements with glazing bars set beneath segmental brick arches, and the eaves are dentilled. The entrance on the west gable has a boarded door with six applied panels, and there is a 12-pane casement window in the gable. On the south side, there are 20-pane casements on each floor. The wheelhouse is located to the right and has two segmentally-arched inlets and a lower roof. There is a boarded door on the east gable and an incomplete casement above it. Inside the wheelhouse, there is a wooden undershot wheel approximately 3.5 meters in diameter, complete with iron inlet controls and an internal byewash channel. The mill contains complete corn milling machinery, including cast-iron gearing and wooden stone nuts for two pairs of grindstones, with a third bottom-stone remaining. It also features a crown wheel and drive shafting for a sack hoist within the roof. This mill is a well-preserved example of a small rural corn mill.
