The Windmill stands on what was formerly the Oughton Estate and was built in 1896 to supply water to the estate. In 1977 the Ohlendorf family replaced its head with a new one shipped from South America, and in 2003 that head was repaired while the windmill, surrounding pond, and grounds were restored. In 2003 the Mike Hogan Family gave this landmark to the Village of Dwight. To the east, the Prairie Creek District Library occupies the former Oughton Carriage House, later a recreation building for the Keeley Co., and it was completely remodeled inside to use both floors for the library. Just north, the Country Mansion Restaurant and Garden Room occupies a building whose smaller earlier version was called the Scott House and stood one block northeast; architect Julian Barnes elaborately renovated it in 1895 as the residence of John R. Oughton. The Ohlendorf family purchased that building in 1976, remodeled it, and in 2000 added the Garden Room banquet facility. North of the Mansion, the Keeley Building now houses professional office space; it began as a residence in the 1890s, built by John R. Oughton for his mother-in-law Mrs. Bennett, and in 1920 it was remodeled into an administration building of the Keeley institute.
