[2] The mill and nearby Parker House (located at 4540 Geddes Road)[3] were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

On this site in 1824,[4] Robert Fleming built a sawmill, located on a rise above the creek which now bears his name.

[4] In 1863, English immigrant William Q. Parker and his wife Mary purchased the site and 61 acres of the surrounding farmland.

[5] In 1873, Parker built the current grist mill[2] on the site of the previous sawmill, which had "long since gone to ruin.

George began selling products to the local markets in Ann Arbor[4] under the brand "Flemings Creek Mills,"[5] and soon the mill became well known locally for its pancake mix, whole wheat flour, and buckwheat flour.

In the 1920s, Geddes Road was widened and paved, and the Parkers raised the foundation of the grist mill.

The mill has a frame third floor, clad with board and batten siding, set atop a two-story stone foundation.
