Cedar Point Mill
Cedar Point

Constructed 1897-98

Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006

"The Cedar Point Mill, also known as the Drinkwater and Schriver Mill, is located along the Cottonwood River at the northwest corner of the intersection of Main and First Streets in Cedar Point. Construction of the three-and-one-halfstory native limestone building was begun in 1871 and completed in 1875. The mill’s dimensions are 100 feet north to south and 27 feet east to west. The building is constructed of native Chase County limestone with a metal-clad, wood-frame section added to the front elevation in 1903. Although in poor condition, the mill retains its integrity and is nominated for its association with the early growth and development of Cedar Point, for its association with Cedar Point founder O. H. Drinkwater, and for its architectural significance as an early limestone-constructed water mill."  (Quoted from Kansas Preservation, March-April 2006, Vol 28, No. 2, Kansas State Historical Society)
