Durham Mill and Furnace, Industrial heritage site in Durham Township, Pennsylvania.
The Durham Mill and Furnace features a three-story stone structure with an internal overshot wheel and a brick warehouse addition from 1912.
The Durham Furnace, established in 1727, produced iron materials for 70 years and supplied military equipment during the American Revolution.
Colonel George Taylor, who managed the furnace operations, later became one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
The Durham Mill contains the second oldest post office in the United States, which opened its doors to the public in 1723.
The mill maintained commercial operations until 1967, processing grains and maintaining its original mechanical systems for nearly 150 years.
