This mill had a two-storey lower portion tapering, and an upper portion octagonal with an octagonal pyramidal cap, both portions having about equal overall heights. The upper portion has a tailpole at the rear sloping down to the ground; it carried six equal-sided, tapering and slightly curved sails on a fairly light metal cross. Both portions of the body were vertically boarded and therefore presumably framed.
