This is an artist sketch of how the mill may have looked and operated. From the National Park Service book on the C&O Canal. A drawing of the Stone Cutting Mill from the archives of the Montgomery County Historical Society. Looking at the mill from the creek in front of the mill.  The C&O Canal basin is on the left out of site.
Looking at the east side of the mill through one of the openings. Looking down the east side of the mill in a northerly direction. On the west side of the mill, sections of the wall have collapsed. One of the existing roof beams is leaning against the wall.
A lintel on the east wall.  Best shape of any I could see.  If you look closely, you can see the forged nails sticking out of the wood Unfortunately, this is the situation of most of the openings in the mill walls.  Fairly dangerous. Note the graffiti on the wall.
From the hill behind the mill, you can look through both sections of the mill down the raceway where water apparently ran the turbines that powered the mill's machinery. On top of the hill, looking down the center of the mill. On top of the hill, looking across the mill with the basin of the C&O Canal in the background.
