The Avondale Mill was built by Horace Capron between 1845 and 1848. Later owned by George Wheeler and others, it was known for many years as Crabbs' Mill after owner Benjamin F. Crabbs. Over the years it manufactured flour, corn, and lace embroidery, and until its destruction in 1991 by a devastating fire, it was the oldest mill in Prince George's County.
