The Jervis Gordon Mill is one of the two remaining mill buildings in the Borough of Milford and the only one in which the water power system and milling machinery remain. It represents the small scale commercial and industrial enterprises that serviced a rural economy and that have disappeared from the landscape as the twentieth century progressed.
