The present buildings, which are very extensive, and most complete in their construction, were erected a few years ago, the old mills having been destroyed by fire.

The annexed View is taken at the foot of the red rock, on the southern side of the river, and exhibits the mills, with a distant view of the tower of St. John's church.
