History and architectural features
The interior of this mill was rebuilt after a fire in 1908. A three-story brick addition was built in 1930, with a lean-to roof. A cupola sits atop the main roof. Haines Mill remained in full operation until 1957.
Haines Mill is operated as a partnership between Lehigh County, which owns and maintains the site, and the Lehigh County Historical Society, which provides public tours of it.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.
