Water Wheel Mills: Grist or Lumber


Fergmiester

M.E.S.S. Maker
I'm in the process of trying out a new line of building bricks and in the process came to the realization these would make an excellent foundation for a Water Wheel Grist or Lumber Mill. I did a search on the net for pics and didn't see anything with any great detail.

Does anyone know of a site or a source for photos, sketches or plans for these type of mills?

Thanks Willis

I've been to both Mills and I'm thinking and leaning more towards the Balmoral Grist Mill but intend to use a bottom fed wheel as opposed to a Over top style due in part because of the water levels in my river beds.

Someone supplied me with the Library of Congress site and I have to admit it is very good for detail, photos and drawings. I just wish we had something like that in Canada... Pity.
