The mill was a three-story wooden structure on a 30’ x 70’ foundation of rock. On the north side, a lean-to housed an engine room with a steam engine which supplied power when water from Jordan Creek failed. This was one of the few steam and water powered mills in the country. The foundation for the steam engine is still intact. The mill has a 36-foot diameter overshot wheel. It was shipped in 1840 by wagon to Cane Hill for John Truesdale. In 1866, the mill was moved one mile north, to it's present location by Pyeatte and Moore. The site is now a roadside park beside Arkansas Highway 45. The waterwheel and a portion of the lower floor and walls remain. The mill is listed as “The Pyeatte Mill Site” on the National Regisiter of Historic Places.
