Place & story

A water-powered workplace

The architectural inventory dates Glenville’s corn mill to about 1880 and identifies the Hudson-Kinahans as its former operators. Its survey recorded rubble-stone walls, a corrugated-iron barrel roof and carriage openings with timber doors. Machinery remained in place within the ruinous building. A stone roadway with an arch lay to the east, while the mill race ran along the western side. Together these features preserve more of the milling operation than the main building alone. [2]
