Historic maps indicated and visual survey confirmed the location of an early nineteenth-century mill race along Holmes Run. When a townhouse subdivision was proposed on Paxton Street, developer Costain Washington, Inc. agreed to protect and plaque the site of the mill race. The developer decided to name the new street and the entire project for Cloud’s grist mill. Today one may visit the site and see the location marked, not only with a plaque, but also a reproduction millstone.
