The Rothville Mill was built in 1793 by Johannes Pfoutz. It replaced an earlier mill on the same location that had been built in 1786. Pfoutz and his Sons owned the mill through 1814. In 1814 Peter Hall purchased the mill and operated it until 1824 when he sold it to Henry Becker. The Becker family operated the mill for nearly 50 years, selling it to J.K. Krantz in 1870. Krantz operated the mill until 1883 when it was sold to Ben Flory who operated the mill until 1911 when it was sold to John Herman who turned around and sold the mill a year later to John Zook who then sold the mill to Isaax Bushong who operated the mill until 1927. The mill remained dormant until 1973 when it became part of the Warwick Farms operation. As late as 2005, the mill was being used as studio and office space after having been renovated. Today, the mill is known as “Wetlands Farm Mill”. The mill is located on Rothsville Road at the intersection with Heck Road just outside of Lititz Pennsylvania in Lancaster County. Nikon D7000 with a Sigma 10-20mm lens, manual focus, aperture priority mode, exposure bracketing for three brackets at 2 stops variance @ F18, ISO 100. HDR and tone map post-processing completed with NIK HDR Efex Pro. B&W conversion done using the newly released Topaz B&W Effects plugin. I like the level of control that the new Topaz B&W Effects gives me when controlling contrast and tonality. It offers a lot of the same features as NIK Silver Efex Pro does plus a few more at a fraction of the price.
The Londonvale Mill was built in 1787 by Jacob Eshleman. It operated as a working flour and grist mill in the Eshleman family until 1839. It was powered by an overshot wheel and had a capacity of about 10 barrels of flour per day. The mill replaced an earlier mill on the same spot that had been built in 1748. The water source is the Eshleman Run. The mill is located on Londonvale Road in Paradise Township within Lancaster County, PA.
