Thanks, I could have better titled the shot "The Grist Mill at Wayside Inn". The inn itself is on the other side of the street. I beleive the original structure is still there, but it has been added on to over the years. Longfellow did stop at the inn and used it as a setting for his book "Tales from a Wayside Inn". The grist mill was built in 1925 by Henry Ford, the auto maker.
Regards,
Richard.

Great photo. Is this the original structure? Didn't Longfellow or Stevenson or one of the early American poets hang out here?
