Appraisal
This fine set of mill buildings offer architectural as well as historical interest as they give the area the name 'Milltown'. The retention of many notable features, such as the door with attractive wrought-iron door furniture, and materials, especially the attractive exterior stone stairs and slate roofing, enlivens the structures.
