Stord, Hordaland county, Norway:
Frugaard's Mill built by Bevensen on the Island of Stord in 1870. This photo from 1902 shows the mill as Bevensen originally constructed it. The water wheel was located in the small addition on the left side of the building, and was powered by Frugaard waterfalls. This mill building is gone today, but the miller's house and some storage buildings remain. They are cared for by the Sunnhordland Folke Museum. [11]
