Sawmill

Original location of mill was in Swormsville, NY.  We were able to acquire the mill since the owner was very concerned about the building falling down.  The building was full of wood worm damage and rot. Word got around to us that the mill was available to a good home.  The Mill had sat untouched since the original owners passing in the late 1960's.  The wood worm had done a lot of damage to the mill itself.  Some of the following pictures show some of the pieces that had to be completely replaced.
