Both Mills (see pictures below) were originally built and owned by Daniel & Charles MacMillan in the 1800's. They were sold to the late Benjamin Mundell (a Scottish Immigrant) who bought the properties for $1025 in the late 1800's. It was in the 1940's when Jim and Bill took over the family business and added a hardware supplier store starting in a 10' by 12' room. The store became a Home Hardware Franchise.

   Mundell Lumber boast the last remaining of the water powered mills on the credit river. With the watergate open an estimated 30hp is created. The belt and pulley driven machines while running (sometimes taking a little coaxing to run smoothly) make the four story building vibrate and hum. It is the buildings large wooden beam structure that holds everything together.
