Description
Doolittle Mill is an 18th-century red brick house that is connected to a tower mill. The mill was truncated at the fourth floor after its sails blew down around 1880 to 1890, and it now features a flat roof. The house itself is two stories tall and has an old clay tile roof. It includes two casement windows and a modern porch.
