8 Hardwick--Twin Mills

The Twin Mills, circa 1840. George K. McMurtrie and Co. Mill was operated by water power until the 1970s. It was two of the more than 40 mills that used to dot the banks of the Pequest River, which was deemed more reliable and profitable than the Delaware River for running the machinery in the mills. Two and a half stories with a brick gambrel roof has housed various industrial manufacturers throughout the 19th century, and now is home to King's Gambit, a roastery and coffee shop dedicated to serving quality coffees and teas.
