Old Mill on Rocky Saugeen River - IN EXPLORE
On Ontario's Rocky Saugeen River near Durham, Ontario a 19th-century grist mill sat idle for decades, uninhabited but never unappreciated. Then in 2001 the grandson of the owner decided it was time to tackle a restoration he had dreamed of for years. An architectural firm was brought in and, after five years, they had completely restored it, turning it into a weekend haven for the Toronto executive. A piece of Ontario history had been preserved. The original turbines are still there and so are the trout. The Association of Registered Interior Designers of Ontario awarded their top honour for 2006 to David Powell and Fenwick Bonnell when they named the restoration of the mill "project of the year" at the group's annual design awards.
