Arcola Mills, Historic house in Washington County, United States.
The wood-frame residence stands near the St. Croix River, featuring Greek Revival architecture with clapboard siding and a full-width porch facing east.
Brothers John and Martin Mower constructed this residence in 1847, establishing one of the first sawmills on the St. Croix River during Minnesota's early settlement period.
The property demonstrates the connection between residential and industrial spaces, reflecting the development of lumber industry communities in nineteenth-century Minnesota.
The property at 12905 Arcola Trail N functions as an education center and event venue, offering programs about regional history and development.
A 40-foot stone chimney remains as the last visible element of the original sawmill that operated with a 34-foot-diameter water wheel over a spring-fed stream.
