Industry
This stone house, constructed around the same time as the mill, was the residence of the miller of Rock Run. He did not necessarily own the mill, but was paid to operate it. He took his "pottle," or fee, from each bushel he ground, approximately 1/8th of a bushel. The house is thought to have also been used as an inn for travelers along the road and/or canal in the mid 1800's.
