Built - c1785, Cloister Group, 40X80, 3.5, stone mill.

AKA - Lower Cloister Mill

Records show a Krubs' mill on this site after 1736. It was a 40X80, 1.5 story linestone mill. A second story was later added by a Eckerling. Cloister purchased the land in 1741 without mention of the mill. The mill was last operated by Samuel Mentzler in 1915 when it started to produce electricity. In 1970 through the mid 1990s it was vacant and standing with staging in the front. In 2004 preservation measures have taken place. Condition - Good
