View of the front of the McCormick Mill at Walnut Grove, with a wooden walkway up to the open door or window on the right. An exterior chimney is to the left of the entrance, and an open window is above near the peaked roof. The mill is built into the side of a hill. Trees are below in the background. Accompanying note reads: "Original McCormick Mill Building, constructed about 1800, as it appeared in the summer of 1937. Note the leaning chimney which is forcing the building off its foundation."
