Built in 1838, the mill capitalized on the discovery of high-quality limestone near Roundtop Hill. This discovery proved fortuitous, as the limestone was perfectly suited for producing hydraulic cement, a crucial building material of the time. Cement produced here found its way to iconic structures like the Washington Monument, the Cabin John Bridge, and even the U.S. Capitol dome, leaving a lasting mark on American history.
