The {{convert|4|acre|sing=on}} site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[2] It was recorded by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1992.[3] HistoryBoshell's Mill, one of several mills run by the Boshell family in Walker County, was started by William R. Boshell in 1885. It was initially a steam engine-powered sawmill only, with the creek used to transport logs to the mill. Boshell expanded the mill in 1901 with the addition of a dam built using locally quarried stone. It was completed in 1902. A gristmill was built on the opposite bank of the creek in 1903. Water turbines at each end of the dam supplied power to each mill.[3] The Boshell family operated the mills until 1963. It was listed on the National Register on May 30, 1975.[2] A fire destroyed the sawmill building in 1976. Another fire destroyed the gristmill in 1986. The stone foundation piers and dam currently remain intact.[3] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://preserveala.org/AlaNRdigital/NR_Properties.pdf |title=The National Register of Historic Places: Alabama Listings |work=Alabama Historical Commission |publisher=Alabama Historical Commission |accessdate=August 2, 2012 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120212015138/http://www.preserveala.org/AlaNRdigital/NR_Properties.pdf |archivedate=February 12, 2012 |df= }} 2. ^1 2 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/al0915/ |title=Boshell's Mill, Lost Creek at Alabama Route 124, 1.7 miles South of Route 78, Townley, Walker County, AL |work=Historic American Buildings Survey, Engineering Record, Landscapes Survey |publisher=Library of Congress |accessdate=August 2, 2012}} External links
