Information

From this area of Mill Street, a lane went past Howland’s Waterdown Flouring Mill and continued along the creek. Howland’s Mill, also known as The Torrid Zone Mill and the Waterdown Flouring Mill was built for Sir William Pearce Howland or Toronto c.1860. This large three storey stone building was the largest mill at the Head-of-the-Lake, producing one hundred and fifty 300-pound barrels of flour a day, most of which were shipped to the Maritime provinces. By 1897, the property had been sold to Alexander Robertson who operated the mill until it burnt to the ground February 1910.
