Description
The Crystal Mill (Old Mill) or historically known as the Sheep Mountain Mill, is one of the most beautiful, picturesque and reputed to be the most photographed area in Colorado state. It’s located above the Crystal River in Crystal, Colorado. The Crystal Mill is a wooden powerhouse built in 1892. Astonishing is that Crystal never had nor does it have now, electricity.
The mill harnessed the river adjacent to the mill to power the air compressor housed inside. Early engineers built a dam across the river, which funneled water down the vertical penstock (the ladder-like structure) onto a horizontal wheel, which drove an axle in the penstock.
