Brinton's Mill, Historic grist mill in Birmingham Township, Pennsylvania, US.
The stone structure of Brinton's Mill contains multiple sections, including the main mill building from 1720 and a granary added in 1824.
During the Battle of Brandywine in September 1777, General John Sullivan established a military position with his troops at the neighboring Brinton's Ford.
Artist Andrew Wyeth incorporated the mill's structures into his paintings after purchasing the property with his wife Betsy in 1958, including Night Sleeper in 1979.
The property extends across 30 acres of land in Chester County, featuring an early 20th-century stone residence built upon an 18th-century foundation.
The mill underwent three major construction phases, with initial construction in 1720, followed by expansions in 1769, and additional renovations in 1824.
