Summary

Significance: One of only two water powered grist mills which survive in Blair County and which were operated in conjunction with the region's numerous iron plantations. The Grist Mill retains its nineteenth century milling machinery and its overshot water wheel. The wood-frame two-and-a-half story structure maintains much of its historic appearance including the original wood clapboard siding.
