History and description

The oldest part of the miller's cottage was constructed around 1730 and features Dutch/Flemish architecture. The grist mill, located across the street from the miller's cottage, was likely built in the second quarter of the 19th century. The three-arch stone bridge over the Pike Run was built around the 1820s.[3][4]
