These types of gristmills were extremely common across rural Pennsylvania. If I had to guess, I’d say this version dates to sometime between 1850-1870, although this style of mill architecture was popular for a long time. I’m mostly just basing that date on the lintels, window patterns, and eaves. It’s likely it was built on the foundation of the original, as that was common to do at that time.
