Description

Chester County-Spring Mill Complex. Spring Mill Complex, or Michael Gunkle Spring Mill, Located southwest of Devault at the junction of Moores Road and Pennsylvania Route 401, in East Whiteland Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. This mill was placed on the National Register of Historical Places, December 14, 1978. The mill was built in 1793, and is a 2+1⁄2-story, stone structure with a gable roof. Also on the property are the 2+1⁄2-story, stone miller's house; a 1-story, stone spring house; a 1-story, stone smoke house; and a 1-story, stone carriage house. The mill remained in continuous operation into the 1940s. Today, this building looks a little different than in the original pictures. The small roof over the fronts steps is no longer there, and a handrail was added. The mill grounds is open for touring.
