Historic White Mills
On Monday, October 11, 1999, the 1911
White Mills Fire House made its historic move across Route 6 to its new home. White
Mills native Wayne Stephens led the campaign to save the
building from demolition. The Fire House was threatened because it was in the path
of a new state bridge over the Lackawaxen River.
Once the foundation is complete, repairs will be made to the stone blocks that make up the structure, the roof will be replaced and the windows repaired. Then, interior repairs will start to make the building usable as a visitors' center and to house a display on how glass was made and decorated.
A campaign is underway to raise funds to complete the restoration of this historic building. Volunteers are also needed to help complete some of the required repair work.
