THE WEIGHT OF WATER

Perhaps the region’s best-known mill is Hoffman’s, which now houses the Brandywine River Museum of Art.
of a small dam, with a placid pond on one side and a rocky torrent below. Across the creek, the much larger Walker’s Mill was once a cotton- manufacturing facility. “It was unusual [because] themillracecameinbehindthebuilding,” Clawson says. “The water went through the center of the mill and came out in the front.”
Perhaps the region’s best-known mill is farther upstream. In the 1960s, residents of
the Chadds Ford area were fearful that their pristine area would be a target for industrial and residential development. Led by the late George (Frolic) Weymouth, a landowner, painter, businessman and philanthropist, the Brandywine Conservancy was formed in 1967. One of its prizes was Hoffman’s Mill, built in 1864 as a gristmill. Weymouth thought it could house a museum to serve as a local showcase
for works by his friend, world-renowned painter Andrew Wyeth, whose studio was
just upstream. Though he interviewed several architects, Weymouth chose a friend from Baltimore, James Grieves, for the job. In a 2004 article in the Baltimore Sun, Grieves related how Weymouth took him to see the mill. “I said, ‘The first thing I wouldn’t do is take the sag out of that roof.’ He kind of liked that,” said Grieves. “It turns out I was being interviewed for the job, but I didn’t know it.”
The Brandywine River Museum of Art opened in 1971, and Grieves subsequently did an expansion to the building. (He also redesigned the Grand Opera House in Wilmington.) Like Hagley, the museum is now a stately reminder of a past era. And the Brandywine has reclaimed its original role as a scenic stream.
When there are strong rains or a rapid snow melt, the creek re-asserts itself, flooding the lower parts of the old mills along its banks as if to declare, “Don’t forget I’m
still here—and that I’m the reason for
your existence.” TH
