Description
Modeled after a 17th century Devonshire cottage, Dard Hunter completed this small paper mill in 1913. Topped with a thatched roof of rye and relying on waterpower from Jew's Creek, Hunter quickly became an expert in papermaking and fashioning handmade typefaces.
Hunter devoted a great portion of his life to the art of paper making, authoring 46 books and establishing the Dard Hunter Paper Museum. Born William Joseph Hunter, the origin of the unusual name of Dard remains unknown. A leading proponent of America's Arts and Crafts style, Hunter is now recognized as one of the movement's greatest artists.
