History and architectural features

[edit]

The interior of this mill was rebuilt after a fire in 1908. A three-story brick addition was built in 1930, with a lean-to roof. A cupola sits atop the main roof. Haines Mill remained in full operation until 1957.

Haines Mill is operated as a partnership between Lehigh County, which owns and maintains the site, and the Lehigh County Historical Society, which provides public tours of it.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.[1]
