The woolen mill began operation in 1808 under the Lutz family.","why_significant":"The nomination argues that the mill illustrates early industrial development in the region, linked to improved transportation such as the 1805 turnpike and the Pennsylvania Canal. It also holds that the Manor, through the Lutz family, shaped the surrounding village of Lutzville, including its railroad depot and post office. The mill is described as an early woolen industry site and its surviving 19th century equipment is cited as evidence of the state's developing sheep and woolen industry.","narrative":"Built in 1803 and 1805 by John Lutz, the Newry Manor and the Juniata Woolen Mill sit on a river terrace and a flood-prone stretch of river near Everett in Bedford County. The Manor house is a two-and-a-half-story limestone rubble building in the German colonial manner, joined to an 1858 brick addition built by Michael Lutz and to a log house of the early nineteenth century. The mill, a stone building with four working levels, began operation in 1808 and is recorded as the first carding and cloth fulling establishment in Snake Spring Valley Township. Its surviving 19th century woolen machinery, power shafts and wheels remain in place. The Lutz family operated the complex for more than 170 years, and their enterprises helped shape the nearby village of Lutzville, with its rail depot and post office. The complex also includes a museum building dedicated in 1950.","period_of_significance":"1803-1858","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"German colonial (Manor house); Pennsylvania traditional late-federal style (brick addition)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Mill is structurally sound but partially stabilized; the stone work needs pointing and repair; the garage is described as dilapidated; the Manor front is obscured by porches and solariums.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:33.15938-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/83002216.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83002216/47b89ec12e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83002216/47b89ec12e-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Jet Lowe","credit_html":"Jet Lowe, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Juniata_Woolen_Mill_and_Newry_Manor.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71995563","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juniata_Woolen_Mill_and_Newry_Manor","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6313050"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/bedford-county/juniata-woolen-mill-and-newry-manor-83002216/"}
