Back to 1874  Conneaut Creek Section Map
 
Benjamin  "Red Mill" built by Nelson Benjamin circa 1850 for sawing lumber.  Located "in the bend" of the Conneaut on the north side of the South Ridge Road.  The property was purchased by C.T. McGoun to be run as a "Burr Mill" in 1881, making wooden bowls.  The McGoun house can be seen at left on the hill above the mill.  It was formerly the property of Calvin Luce who built the original house in 1840.  Calvin Luce did not own the mill property.   View is looking East from across the Conneaut Creek at Mill Street.
