REASONS FOR DESIGNATION

 

6247 GUELPH LINE

 

The Mill, built of local limestone in 1837 from "Squire" James Cleaver, was essential to the nineteenth century economic development of the Village of Lowville.  A fire in 1938 caused the four-storey mill to be reconstructed to its present form, as three-storeys with a replacement roof.  An operating mill for more than a century, the building was converted in 1963 into a private residence.  These renovations preserved the distinctive character of its exterior.  The Mill, with its millpond and dam, millrace and tailrace is a landmark in Lowville and makes a strong contribution to the natural and heritage environment of the community.
