Summary
| Description |
English: The Great Western Windmill was built by Isaac Edge (1777-1851), who immigrated from England to New Jersey in 1801. Familiar with English style mills, Edge had all the components of a windmill shipped to him from Derbyshire, England in 1815. He erected the mill in Brooklyn Heights in 1806, in 1812 he moved it across the rver to Paulus Hoeck, New Jersey alongside the Hudson River. The mill was taken down in 1839 to make way for a railroad station. It was then transported to Southold where it was rebuilt as a replacement for the Dominy windmill. It was last operated by Pierre Rene Villefeu (?-1915) in Southold until it was destroyed by fire on June 25th, 1870. |
