Summary

Significance: The Windmill Tower of Estate Susannaberg is the second oldest on the island of Saint John. Erected between 1780 and 1800 by an unknown builder, the mill is in ruinous condition today. The wooden framing and grinding machinery are missing and only the stone tower has survived. The oven opposite the entry and the two windows in the upper part of the tower are the mill's unusual features.
