It is situated along the east bank of the Antietam Creek with its east gable facing the road. The mill isrconstructed of roughly coursed local field stone. It is five bays in length with the mill racG running underneath it about midway along its broad side. At the peak of the east gable is a date stone marked 1771 with the initial J. R. The stone work at the exterior of the building shows a number of seams in the walls probably indicating several periods of building. A vertical division line in the stone is evident just west of the mill race. A horizontal seam in the masonry is evident about eight feet above ground level, running along the north, west, and south walls west of the race. Within this area there is evidence that window openings m in the north and south walls have been raised about one foot. Most of the windows and doors in the east, north, and m west walls of the building are topped with segmental arches. The openings have no decorative stone work over their lintels. z The openings in the north and south walls for the race are lined with coursed upright stones forming a segmental arch. Many early timbers and milling machinery can be observed in - the race. The \vindows are framed with wide wooden members which are secured with pegs. The openings are located at random on all sides of the building although few are present in the south wall. Doors are framed simil;irlv to the windows with entrances located at ground level at the .. east and west ends of the north 0 wall. At the mnin story doors are located in the east gable z end and in the second and fourth bays of the west wall. A ·door is located within the east gable at the attic level. Just above this door a large beam protrudes to carry u block and tackle. The ends of the roof at the gables are finished with a tapered barge board. The roof extends beyond the north wall of the building several feet to cover the remains of an eleva ted walkway which gives access to the second story openings. The roof covering is sheet m6tal under which can be seen c~~li.er wnoJ0n s~inglcs. Two small gabled dormers are present on the south si ·------· ·-. _____ . ______.

A dated example of V1 Washington County's eighteenth century architecture, the mill I z has received no significant alterations since 1771. Much of I 0 the original woodwork remains as well as a. significant part of the milling machinery. Functioning as an early business, t- the mill represents an important part of the early economy : of Western Maryland. A large number of mills were in operatic~ - u along the Antietam Creek during the eighteenth century (at => least ten are shown on a 1794 map), an indication that milling IX was a major industry in the area. Unfortunately few of these t- mills are standing today. There is considerable evidence to suggest that Jacob V1 Rohrer's establishment was among the earliest of the mills on z the Antietam. The seams in the m~sonry of the building indicate that an earlier one-story structure may have been .w present before 1771. The physical evidence of an earlier mill ~s supported by documentary references in patent records ~ of Frederick County. The mill stands on land which was part V1 of a 817-acre tract called "Nancy's Contentment," patented to John Rohrer on May 10, 1768. Apparently Nancy's Contentment included six smaller tracts which were granted to Jacob Rohrer Among these six.parcels were a ten-acre tract, "Jacob's Welfar~," granted in 1747; "Defiance," for 100 acres dated 1750 and nAddition to the Mill'' a 30-acre tract patented in 1761. The name "Addition to the Mill" would suggest the presence of a milling operation at.the"time of that patent. Jacob Rohrer owned property on the banks of the Antietam as early as 1739, and in a patent of 1747 reference is made to Jacob Rohrer's dwelling. This documented information supports the possible existence of a pre-1771 mill. The mill was in the Rohrer family until 1817. The Trovingers who operated the mill from 1875 to 1910 contributed only the present name of the structure to its history. It continued func tioning as a grist mill into the twentieth century although during the immediate past it has been vacant. The current owner is planning repairs and renovation. The old mill is situated along an eighteenth century road which led from the mill west to Hagerstown and north (See continuation sheet) Form 10.)00a UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR STATE (July 1969) NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Marv land NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES COUNTY .: IMVEMTORY - MOMIMATIOM FORM Washinqton •• ,.

It is situated along the east bank of the Antietam Creek with its east gable facing the road. The mill is constructed of roughly coursed local fieldstone. It is five bays in length with the mill race running underneath it about midway along its broad side. At the peak of the east gable is a date stone marked 1771 with the initials J. R. The stone work at the exterior of the building shows a number of seams in the walls probably indicating several periods of building. A vertical division line in the stone is evident just west of the mill race. A horizontal seam in the masonry is evident about eight feet above ground level, running along the north, west and south walls west of the race. Within this area there is evidence that window openings in the north and south walls have been raised about one foot. Most of the windows and doors in the east, north and west walls of the m building are topped with segmental arches. ffhefQpenings have no deocra m tive stone work over their lintels. The openings in the north and south walls for the race are lined with coursed upright stones forming a segmental arch. Many early timbers and % milling machinery can be observed in the race. The windows are framed with wide wooderfiembers which are secured with -. pegs. The openings are located at random on all sides of the building ;:a although few are present in the south wall. Doors are framed similarly to the windows with entrances located at c: ground level at the east and west ends of the north wall. At the main n story doors are located in the east gable end and in the second and fourth -t bays of the west wall. A door is located within the east gable at the attic level. Just above this door a large beam protrudes to carry a block 0 and tackle. z The ends of the roof at the gables are finished with ·a tapered barge board. The roof extends beyond the north wall of the building ~everal feet to cover the mreains 'o':f ~ elevated walkway which gives access to the second story openings. The roof covering is sheet metal under which can b~ seen e~rl~er wooden sh:i,ngles. Two small gabl~d dormers are present . . - on the south side of the roof.

A dated example of Washi~tcm~ounty 's 18th century archi tecture, the mill has received ~A1~ 1~A~1ons since 1771. Much of % the original woodwork remains as well as a significant part of the milling 0 machinery. Functioning as an early business, the mill represents an important part of the early economy of Western Maryland. A large num- ber of mills were in operation along the Antietam Creek during the 18th century (at least ten are shown on a 1794 map), an indication that milling was a major industry in the area. Unfortunately few of these mills are standing today. There is considerable evidence to suggest that Jacob Rohrer's esta blishment was among the earliest of the mills on the Antietam. The seams in the masonry of the building indicate that an earlier one-story :z structure may have been present before 1771. The physical evidence of an earlier mill is supported by documentary references in patent records of Frederick County. The mill santds on land which was part of a 817- w acre tract called "Nancy's Contentment," patented to John Rohrer on w May 10, 1768. Apparently Nancy's Contentment included six smaller tracts which were granted to Jacob Rohrer. Among these six parcels were a ten-acre tract, "Jacob's Welfare," granted in 1747; "Defiance," for 100 acres dated 1750 and "Addition to the-Mill" a 30-acre tract patented in 1761. The name "Addition to the Mill" would suggest the presence of a milling operation at the time _of that patent. Jacob Rohrer owned property on the banks of the' Antietam as early as 1739, and ,in a patent of 1747 reference is made to Jacob Rohrer's dwelling. This doclln'iented information supports the possible ~xist~nce o~ a 1 ~f!-17U mill. The mill was in the Rohrer family until 1817 •.o"Q~sJ~ ..~1 The old mill is situated along an 18th century roacr-which led fr9~ t~ mill west to Hagerstown. and ~ortly'to the Hughes forge and mill~ft:n'~~ d rrul r,,. up the Antietam. Much of this road has been obliterated by farni:lng and development but parts of it art still discernable and its route can be tracted along much of its length.
