Since I had some time this morning I thought I'd stop in Bedford and photograph the mill. I mentioned this place a few days back.

I used to bicycle between Kalamazoo and Lansing a couple weekends each month. This mill (and its town) were on one of my regular routes. Always wanted to photograph it, but somehow never found the chance.

Sign on the mill says it dates from 1855. Evidently it served as a print shop for a time, but now it's obviously abandoned. It really needs a workover.

Picturesque, regardless.

Found a nice sketch of this building, with similar commentary.
