Waterford Mill Restoration

On July 28, 2023, construction to stabilize the historic Waterford Mill in the Village of Waterford reached substantial completion. Over the course of the last nine months, crews completed stabilization work, such as the reconstruction of the historic Hurst frame, window and flooring repairs, structural improvements, painting, interior and exterior masonry work, and excavation and repairs to the water wheel pit.

Over the next few weeks, punch work will be completed, and the mill will be turned back over to the Waterford Foundation for programming. This is the last update for the Waterford Mill Stabilization Project.

In the last several weeks, crews working on the Waterford Mill Stabilization Project in the Village of Waterford completed attic floor repairs and painted the building’s roof and dormers. Interior and exterior masonry work continues, including repairs to the water wheel pit and first floor. In the coming weeks, crews will continue interior carpentry work and repairs to the windows and sashes throughout the building. Reconstruction of the historic Hurst Frame is ongoing at an offsite location. 

This project provides for the structural stabilization of the Waterford Mill and the addition of accessibility features to allow the use of the mill for educational and cultural enrichment programs. Construction is estimated to be complete in summer 2023.
