This four and one-half story mill was constructed in 1860 at a cost of $40,000. It had a capacity of 160 barrels of flour per day. By the 1880s, the mill produced 240 barrels of flour per day. It currently houses Oncken's Machine Shop.
This is a working 17th century grist mill that has a 54-inch French Burl millstone. Built in 1654 on Shawme Pond in the center of town, the Mill has tours and sells fresh ground corn.
I'll bet that every part of this mill has been replaced at least once since it was built in 1868, which raises a philosophical question: when is a structure no longer the original?
The Dowlin Mill was a Billy the Kid hideout.

Taken from the reception center up the lane. The old mill sports a fairly new coat of paint and a new roof, but little else changes over the years......exactly as it should be. I may have uploaded this picture before, but it was in a bunch of things I scanned yesterday so here it is again.This mill is located in Balmoral Mills (near Tatamagouche) Nova Scotia, Canada. It still operates in the summer as a museum. They make mighty fine oatmeal and buckwheat flour too. More info can be found here
This mill was built in 1909 to house the American Woolen Company. It now has a New Balance shoe assembly plant in it, but I don't think that takes up all this space. Parts of it are probably vacant, and I think all of it was vacant for many years. The clock tower (with a clock face second in size only to Big Ben, among all clock towers in the world) has become an icon of the city of Lawrence.

during this terrible weather, you get the most interesting light combinations. Like how the old mill, ca. 1805, comes out in this light.

sorry about the reflection - took it through the car window
The Lippitt Mill (built 1809) in West Warwick, Rhode Island is believed to be the oldest continuously operating textile mill in the United States. It is currently used for the manufacture of lace. NRHP Building #74000053.
grinding mill is a leading world level industrial mill.grinder mill is designed by our engineers and technical workers, basing on many years’ industrial mill research, and adopting world leading powder processing technology.
When Saltaire was designed for Sir Titus Salt by the Bradford architects Lockwood and Mawson between the years 1851 and 1853 it was part of a major social statement for
a "New Industrial Age".
Saltaire comprises a massive textile mill and a village built for the workforce.
The village contains 900 houses, churches, schools, institute and other public amenities.
The mill was in full production, employing 3,000 people, for over 100 years until the Bradford textile industry fell into decline.
Jonathan Silver bought Salts Mill in 1987. It was semi-derelict and appeared to have no positive future. Since then Salts has been transformed and now approximately 1,500 people are employed on the site by firms which include large electronic manufacturing companies like Pace Micro Technology plc and Filtronic Comtek plc. In 1853 Salts Mill was the leading edge of textile industry; it now leads the world in high technology.
In addition to the galleries, the other public spaces include a high quality diner and excellent speciality shops.
Graue Mill and Museum, an operating waterwheel grist mill and homestead, is dedicated to maintaining a bridge between past and present generations in the belief that understanding our history is vital to our future. The Museum provides programs -- for school children and others -- that include milling, spinning and weaving and living history presentations, as well as artifacts which illustrate the way of life of area residents between 1850 and 1890 and the impact mills such as Graue Mill had on our culture.

- The original Christie Mill was destroyed by fire in the year 1900, demolished ca. 1925-30, and rebuilt by Christie park's Friends in 2004. The rebuilt mill stands today as a monument to times past - a story for today's children and youth. Here, school classes and others come to see how the grain was turned to flour in the "old days". The original mill was probably built around 1830, and was in daily use until ca. 1860. The rebuilt mill is as far as possible a copy of the mill that burned down ca. 1900 - built on houses of the original mill. Architect Gabor Szilvay drew the mill with a "China tilt" and other time-appropriate solutions from Christies time. The technical work is produced by Rune Revheim, Osterøy, and the mill stones were carved by Thorbjørn Løland from Hyllestad in Sogn -

Turner Mill
Once you turn off Hwy 19 you will travel on a gravel road that descends for approximately 6 miles on Federal Road (FR) #3152 then continues for another 3 miles on FR#3190. These gravel roads although level have some large rocks in them so your decent should be at a low speed pace. Once there and after seeing the wheel be sure and explore the area searching out the source of the spring. I am including a picture from the internet of what the mill looked like when it was operational. Closest Towns: Alton, Winona. Directions: Turner Mill North is located off of MO Scenic Hwy 19, approx. 11 miles north of Alton, or approx. 15 miles south of Winona. From Alton, travel North on Hwy 19 approx. 11 miles to FR#3152 on your right. Or, from Winona, travel South on Hwy 19 approx. 14.9 miles to FR#3152 on your left. Go approx. 6 miles on FR#3152, then turn right onto FR#3190 for approx. 2.6 miles to the access area. Turner Mill has a north and south access, on both sides of the river. If you want to see the old mill site and spring, you will want to visit Turner Mill North. It is about 9 miles off the highway down some gravel roads, but it is definitely worth the trip. All that remains from the old mill is a giant metal water wheel, which sits in the middle of the spring branch. The spring itself comes from a small cave entrance at the base of a very tall bluff. The entire area is very scenic and beautiful.
