The two and one-half story frame building has a horizontal turbine wheel. The mill was later owned by the Imlay family, namesake of the community. The last owner was the Golden family, who closed mill operations in 1962.[4]
Richard Salter's daughter, Hannah, married Mordecai Lincoln, who were great-great-grandparents ofAbraham Lincoln.[4][7]
