Gamble Mill rises three and one-half stories in height and features an impressive, stepped gable with full gabled attic on the north elevation. The building also featured a clerestory hoist way shaft as well as visible traces of a former roofline and brick imprinting that indicates that a gable roof structure was once attached.

The mill is located in a perfect site with Spring Creek, a freshwater stream to the west, an early canal terminal for the Bellefonte Branch of the Pennsylvania Canal to the north, and a portion of the mill run just to the south. In , William Ashbridge Thomas purchased the property, and it became known as Thomas Mill.

Tragically, on May 25, , a fire broke out in a large grain warehouse adjacent to the mill, engulfing two acres of the waterfront area, including the warehouse, a lumberyard, and the historic mill. The Gamble Mill today includes the footprint and south end of the gristmill and the Victorian-era structure.

George M. Like all the other owners of the mill, Gamble was just one of many noteworthy parts in the history of the Bellefonte Flouring Mills, which provided grain for the community and abroad from to Of approximately thirty-four mill sites recorded in the Centre County region of Pennsylvania, there are only six which have even a portion of the original mill remaining.

The Gamble Mill is one of the only mills remaining in the immediate Bellefonte area and would not be standing today if Ted H. Conklin did not purchase the property from a beer distributor to save it from possible demolition.

Virgilio Investments IV LLC purchased the mill property in after it had sat vacant for several years. Exterior work included:. On the interior, existing spaces were reconfigured for the new building program and new code compliant vertical circulation components were added.

Overall, the project moved through design and construction with few hiccups due to the great communication between the project team, PA SHPO and the National Park Service NPS.

The project team was able to demonstrate that the gable as it stands today was non-historic; with that information, NPS determined that the gable could be altered with the proposed window units.

Now operating as a small inn with modern suites, a fresh-from-farm restaurant, a craft cocktail bar, an intimate event space and local boutique shop, the Gamble Mill is a central component to the community revitalization and supporting heritage tourism in Bellefonte. This great project will benefit the local residents and attract visitors from far and near.

The Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office is very proud to be a partner in finally moving the once stagnant Mill back to life again and allowing its historic beauty to shine once again for the borough of Bellefonte.

A great celebrated steppingstone for the preservation community and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Historic Photos: Bellefonte Historical and Cultural Association.
