mill house

Where grain's processed

A mill house is a building associated with a mill, either the structure housing the mill machinery itself or a dwelling where the miller and family lived.

These buildings typically stood beside streams or rivers that powered the mill wheel.

Many historic mill houses have been converted to residences: They renovated an old mill house on the river.
