Having moved to Northwood, East Hills, in 1955 when my Dad moved his business to Roslyn, I grew up on land that was part of the Mackay Estate. Country Estates was just being built. There is so little left of the history of the Mackay Estate and East Hills. I am saddened by the possible loss of this piece of our history. We need to preserve and respect what little remains.
I would hope that East Hills residents vote against this development scheme . The area is blessed with a rich history which gives it a unique atmosphere that will be a legacy to those lucky enough to live there.
This is the earliest known photo of the mill, but the images shown here are reversed. Looking from the harbor, the additions were to the right of the original structure.

Fantastic! I’m enjoying reading the Roslyn Landmark Society emails and updates. Now is not the time to let down our guard regarding COVID, and I appreciate your updates on that as well as the profiles.

if these properties are truly considered historical.
Shouldn't we hold on to history & share it with our children and grandchildren.

Terry, great catch! Indeed, the negative was printed in reverse. I have added two other early photos of the Roslyn Grist Mill. Howard
