Definitely the one near me was over 150 yrs old when it got tore down ,they were built insanely strong ours had a huge electric motor in the top the size of a pick up truck cab and a working hand pull elevator that you could zip to the top of the mill in seconds. I believe ours was built in 1840 with the electric motor added in the 1930`s.
