Title
The Old Grist Mill, Holmesburg
Date
ca. 1922
Description
Depicts a stone mill and outbuilding. A wagon rests in the foreground and two children and a man stand in front of the buildings.
Notes
The ruin of the Lewis Pennock' or "Old Swedes" mill has stood upon the margin of Pennypack Creek, near Holmesburg, for many years. It was built in 1697. It was eighty years old when it ground its grists for the soldiers of Washington and of the British forces alternately. The drawing here presented was made from a photograph taken prior to its destruction by fire in 1885. The site is now included in the Pennypack Park.
