  • Notes 
    • On the decease of Philip Roblin Sr., Philip Jr., his son, who died in 1899, inherited the estate and succeded to the business. Soon after his father's death he built the third grist mill at the head of the ravine, near the bridge where the road crosses, a fine, three storey modern structure, which over-shot water wheel, seventeen feet in diameter, with three run of stones. He also erected a large storehouse just across the road, which was ultimatly connected with the mill by an overhead gangway. He likewise added a complete saw mill equipment to the lower mill, operated both by steam and water power, and in various ways enlarged and increased it till the milling business here expanded to one of the most extensive in Canada. Large consignments of flour were for many years shipped regularly from these mills to foreign lands, until Roblin's Mills became for a time a leading comercial centre in the country, and a considerable lake depot, with storehouses, shops and docks for convenience of shipping.
