Grist Mill at Keremeos

• 

The character defining elements of the Grist Mill at Keremeos include:

- the interior and exterior of the mill, including unique construction features related to its use as a flour mill

- the historic mill machinery, such as the Barford & Perkins steel grinder, and the James Jones stone roller

- the relationship of built structures with the geographical elements of the land, such as Keremeos Creek and its surrounding topography, the slope and volume of which provide the source of power for the mill, and which create the need for a connecting footbridge to allow access from the store to the mill

- the relationship between the mill and the general store/ residence, and the spatial relationships between the buildings, the creek, and the road

- historic exterior features of the general store/residence building, including its gable-roof form and one-storey massing, dating to the time of Barrington Price

- historic interior features of the general store/residence, including historic wallpaper, and evidence of construction and wear (as seen in traffic patterns on floorboards)

- the manual construction of the mill, general store/residence, and apple house, and the evidence of this in markings of the broad axe, adze, and pit saw on the wooden structural elements
