| Additional Information: | Dam was built in 1940. Previously surveyed in 1998. The Power House/Mill replaced an earlier frame mill that had been at that location since about 1856. It was slightly modified at the time the current dam was put in. The earlier dam was a wood/log dam which had been reinforced, however mot completely rebuilt until ca. 1940. UPDATE 2018 - POWERHOUSE AND DAM STILL INTACT, NO CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS SURVEY |
