Searight's Fulling Mill is a historic fulling mill located at Perryopolis, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, USA. It was built about 1810 and is a 2 1/2-story, sandstone building with a gable roof. It measures approximately 20by. The mill closed in the 1820s and was converted to a dwelling.[1]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
The mill is named after William Searight, who built the mill on a farm previously owned by George Washington.[2] Searight is credited for realizing that small fulling mills could not compete with city based factories served by railroads, and left the fulling business before his mills became unprofitable.[3]
