John P. Cable grist and saw mill

An overshot water wheel mill used to grind corn into corn meal and wheat into flour. The water wheel could also be used to power saw mills as well. After the saw mills, homes were almost exclusively of frame construction. As well, most owners of log homes bought lumber for siding to cover the logs of their "old-fashioned" homes.
