A fragment of the millstone is preserved as a memorial at the East Mill Creek First Ward Chapel, Evergreen Avenue. According to a history of mills built on Mill Creek Stream, written by Selina O. Stillman in ,1923, there were 20 flour and lumber mills erected along the creek. From these mills came the thousands of feet of lumber and the many barrels of flour for the fast growing territory.
