WINDMILL WEST FALMOUTH

n Old Landmark at West Falmouth. 
Ow^ned by Silas Swift. 



T^HE windmill of Silas Swift at West Falmouth is a landmark. Built in 
1787, its centennial was appropriately noticed in 1887. There is only 
one older mill in this vicinity— at Nantucket. The peculiarity of this mill 
lies in the fact that for one hundred and more years it has been in constant 
use, and was never more serviceable than it is to-day. Mr. Swift carries 
on a flourishing flour and grain business, and depends upon the "old mill"^ 
to do the grinding. (NAPLES)
