Prior to the
early 1780s, the grist miller lived in rooms in the
grist mill. In 1782, the Moravian Congregation
authorized the building of a separate house
(limestone portion). It contained a kitchen, one
large room, and a cellar.
In 1834, a
1-1/2 story brick addition enlarged the structure
for the miller and his family.
When the
adjacent Luckenbach Mill caught fire on January 27,
1869, firemen were able to save the miller's house
as well as the nearby dye house. The miller's house
remained a residence until the late
1970s.
