 "The
Mill, Stony Brook, N. Y." The
addition at the back and
the cover to the wheel were not original and were removed after Ward
Melville
purchased it in 1947. It operated a mail order business until about
that time. Mailed in 1913. |

 "The
Old Grist Mill, Stony Brook" Not mailed, but published by Zimmerlein's,
the Pharmacy that was in business after 1940. Right: the back of the
mill from the west shore, mailed in 1921. |

This photo, taken in March of 2002, shows the mill without the addition at the back, but otherwise very much the same from outside.

open to the public." |
