Ivory Mills, Historic grist mill complex in White Hall, Maryland
Ivory Mills is a three-story grist mill building made of stone and wood, located in White Hall with rubble stone on the ground floor and wood clapboard on the upper levels. The complex contains six preserved buildings from the 1800s, including the miller's residence, a barn, corn storage, a carriage house, and a chicken house.
The mill operation started in 1781 when the family established it, and the current stone and frame building was constructed around 1818. Stone bridge supports from the early 1800s and the remnants of a stone spring house tell the story of the site's development over time.
The complex includes six preserved 19th-century buildings: the mill, miller's house, barn, corn crib, carriage house, and chicken house.
The site sits on a 14-acre property near the border between Baltimore and Harford counties. Visitors should expect uneven ground and older structures that may have limited accessibility in certain areas.
The grounds contain stone abutments from a covered bridge built in the Federal era and ruins of a stone spring house. These rare structures reveal what the surrounding infrastructure looked like when the mill was in operation.
