Ruins of John Dorrance’s Mills, once located at the end of Pond Street and the edge of the canal basin [as of 2019, the Mill Street parking lot]. The mill was first started by Samuel Carpenter in 1701 as a saw and grist mill. The Dorrance family acquired the mills in the early 1800s. In 1879, William Rogers of Bristol Township became the owner. During the 1950s – 1960s, the building was owned by Auto Boys (Plavin Family) as an auto parts store, which also sold appliances and electronic equipment. The mill building burned in 1980s and was removed.
