Dilley Gristmill Ruins

Description
-
This gristmill was located on the Tualatin River in the Dilley area, just off Anderson Road south of Forest Grove. Horace Parsons with the help of A.T. Smith chose the location of the mill at a crossing of the Tualatin River later called the Jason Lee Ford. The mill started producing flour in the spring of 1850. The mill used an undershot water wheel to power the mill to make flour. The river water ran under the wheel rather than over the top. In this photograph, the mill was already in poor condition. The side facing the camera has no walls and part of the roof is collapsed onto the third story floor. Brush and trees are growing up around the three sides with tall grass in front.
