About
Powder Mill is a townhome subdivision in East Pikeland Township, Chester County, built circa 1989–1990 by James Lewis and others, according to LivingPlaces.com. The community’s street names — Peter DeHaven Drive, Revolutionary Court, Continental Circle, Gunpowder Road — directly reference the Continental Powder Works at French Creek, the only powder mill and gun factory commissioned by the Continental Congress, constructed on French Creek in 1776 just north of the subdivision’s present site. The HOA, formally named Quarters at Powdermill, covers trash removal, snow removal, common area maintenance, exterior building maintenance, lawn maintenance, road maintenance, and professional management, as confirmed in public records for units on Continental Circle and Revolutionary Court.
