Great pictures and interesting story, Kate.  That mill really makes the place.  You must have a lot of fun there!  Plus, I learned more about mills than I knew before.

I see not problem with converting that place to a house and living in it. I'd do it without hesitation if I owned it. Unless someone is willing to make it into a mill museum what other life does it have? It deserves to have a purpose, its too nice to sit idle.
Flood plain? That thing has been there 200 years, its not going anywhere

I guess if you like water in your first floor, that would be fine. But it's illegal anyway. Can't even rebuild the workers house because of the flood plain laws. Not even to use as storage. Could possibly get a permit for that situation, but it would be work to get it approved - turning the mill into a house - never. There is actually some kind of funding that pays for some homeowners to have their historic houses moved out of the floodplain.

Got that right Gunny! I could turn that into a palace. A Better Homes and Gindaloons cover story. One of my uncles was a master stone mason. I worked many summers with him when I was a boy. Several bathrooms, four bed rooms, and I big throne room so I could allow the surfs into my presence. Can ya see it Kate?

Boy coincidences abound on here lately! I was just telling a co worker about your Mill and the worn down stairs last week.I love the old Mills and the smell of grain or freshly sawn lumber.Yours is beautiful.

The smell of 60+ year old grain is a little different than the fresh stuff. I do like the smell, though. I have to go in there & take some more pics. Someone painted swallows on an I beam down by the waterwheel... and there are some signatures of the owners that didn't turn out when I was there. One wrote his name in Greek. Just makes you wonder where and why a miller would learn that & use it. Was he a jokester messing with future generations heads?

Yeah - I hear that's where all the millers from the 19th century learned the trade! Could be... we've speculated about it for years.

What a wonderful delight Kate... We have a famous Grist Mill out in my neck of the woods that is quite famous along with the chapel across the street. The area has been used in many local movies. It has been one of my favorite places since a child. I love the smell, sounds, and water. 

Thanks for sharing, you sure made my afternoon more enriched seeing your fantastic pictures and story.
Enjoy.
Star~*

I'm always accepting pictures of old mills, Stardust! Glad you enjoyed it. I did enjoy growing up there.

Hey, that's pretty cool wolffbp!.....My freind that I dig with has distant relatives that were connected with that mill,....He lives right along the canal there in Gasport.....I was once in a large dump in Batavia, way back when I lived in the Java Center area...can't remember an awful lot about it, but I think I found a few good ones.
