This is the top of the dumbwaiter in The Painted Mill and how Quaint With Paint gets its fabulous finds to its space on the second floor! What a shoulder workout!
Quaint With Paint wanted to share some of the history of The Painted Mill with you.
The Painted Mill was once a a feed warehouse owned by the Reckord family of Harford County. The building was built in the late 1800s alongside the Ma & Pa Railroad. The Ma & Pa Railroad was a short railroad that connected York, PA and Baltimore. The part of the railroad that ran through Fallston only ran from 1901 to 1954. The railroad was used for transporting supplies and later passengers. The building was never used to mill feed or as feed store. It was only used as a feed warehouse.
Over the years, the building has been used as an antique store. In the fall of 2013 Jennifer Jennings-Janson, Summer Old Summer New owner and creator of The Whitehouse Market decided the old Fallston feed warehouse would be a perfect home for a monthly vintage tag sale and vintage gift shop. The tag sale will run the fourth weekend of the month. The gift shop is opening late spring 2014.
