Around approximately 1857 Dunn bought part of section 1141 of Bridgewater to erect a steam and water mill which, for most of the year, was operated by water from Cox's Creek.
In 1870 a flood washed away the mill dam, which had only recently been completed, together with the older dam and three bridges.
From 1958 the mill was used as a bond store for Hamilton's Wines and is now owned by Petaluma Wines and operates as a restaurant.
The building, on Mount Barker Road, is a tourist attraction; the millwheel operates electrically.
