DOUB’S MILL

-A A +A
Late 18th-early 19th century. 20512 Beaver Creek Rd.

This small, pastoral historic district on the outskirts of Hagerstown features a group of native limestone buildings clustered around Doub’s Mill. Now rare, this type of small crossroad settlement focused on a gristmill operation used to be the economic driver for Washington County and the surrounding areas starting in the eighteenth century. The mill is a two-and-a-half-story coursed stone structure on the east bank of Beaver Creek. A two-story limestone dwelling nearby dates to c. 1794, and another two-story, three-bay stone house dates to 1811. The district also includes a one-story outbuilding with the date 1782 inscribed on one stone, a small stone tenant house from the early nineteenth century, a large stone-end bank barn with frame gables, and other farm buildings near the intersection of Cool Hollow and Beaver Creek rds.
