In 1858 it was purchased by Cornelius Conklin, who moved it to Wainscott, between Bridgehampton and East Hampton, where it remained for over 50 years.

[5] When the windmill was moved back to Wainscott in 1943, the mill tower was transported in four sections, of two bays each.

The windshaft may date from when the mill was operated, and there are iron fillets set longitudinally into the neck of the shaft.

The wallower is a clasp-arm spur gear with beveled cogs, unlike that found in any of the other windmills.

[5] One sign of the mill's comparatively late date of construction, 1813, is the absence of a center post.

Instead, the main vertical shaft bears on a bridge beam at the second floor, which is also found in the 1820 Beebe Windmill.<[5] List of windmills in New York This article about a historic property or district in Suffolk County, New York, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is a stub.
