Description |
West's Mill, East Parish River, Millvale, Haverhill. Small one story wood mill building built over East Parish River. Established by Anthony Chase of Newbury in 1757; bought in 1882 by Frank West, who operated it until 1895 when the city of Haverhill purchased the water rights and constructed the Millvale Reservoir. Thomas H. West, son of Frank, moved the old mill down to the road, operating it until the early 21st century as West's Cider Mill. The dam flow and the river are frozen, there is snow on the ground. View of right and rear sides. Photo by Austin P. Nichols; this is a later print. Inscription on verso: "Photo by Austin P.
