McCosh Grist Mill, Historic gristmill in Rock Mills, US
The McCosh Grist Mill stands on the sloped bank of Wehadkee Creek with unfinished stone walls and detailed architectural features including stone quoins and rectangular courses.
James Eichelburger McCosh constructed this stone gristmill in the early 1870s, following his grandfather's tradition of operating similar facilities in Pennsylvania.
The mill served as a central point for the agricultural community, where farmers brought their grains to be processed into flour and cornmeal until 1958.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers acquired the property in 1970 as part of the West Point Lake reservoir project, leading to its preservation.
The structure incorporates repurposed half millstones as architectural elements, forming distinctive arches above the windows and doors of the building.
