City Stone Mill (Painter-Bernatz Mill) (David Gebhard and Gerald Mansheim)
A classic four-story mill building, this structure has two lower floors of limestone rubble construction and two wood-frame upper floors sheathed in drop siding. The mill continued to utilize water power up through 1947. The building has been restored to its 1900–1914 period of use, and it is a part of the Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum.
