Bell,s Mill
Located at junction of Hwy 88 and Hwy 677, in the town of Monroe, Hart County, Kentucky. I,ve been wanting to post this one since I took it in early January............ been holding out till I found someone to tell me what the building ,s original function was.
The building,s last life that I knew of was holding auctions on Friday nights and it had been ages since that happened. Wanted to think it was a general store at one time .............. window patterns said no .......... who ever saw a store with windows on second floor and none on the bottom floor. The front didn,t work for a store either ............ looks like a drunk took out the front of the building and it was cheaper to fix it back as a recessed entrance. Then we have the dormers sticking out of what could be the third floor ................. living quarters on the top floor ??
Some answers came today ................. Don Pedigo a life long resident of the area called today to place an order. Don tells that back " Back in the day, it was the mill for the area to process wheat into flour and corn into cornmeal ". I asked about the dormers in the roof and Don says he can remember that yes the building was used as a residence at one time. The front, below the Coca Cola sign was the loading dock.
If someone from the area sees this ............. please leave some info about it in the comment section.
