Looking East at the front of the mill. This is Friday, Oct. 30th, on week four and the entire sill has now been removed. Lucky that the guard rail is there to help support the wall. Back in the day, the loading dock was at about that same level, but the roadway, which is on top of the dam, was several feet lower. See the next photo, the oldest we have of Abbott's Mill.
Ainsworth Abbott's mill, circa 1920s, but that's just a guess.
Now looking West at the same wall
130 (or more) years old brick foundation wall under the front of the mill.
