Here is it a a factory for certain kinds of manufacture, as paper, steel, or textiles. In NC mostly textile. Most are closed now due to cheap labor in China.

is a mill always a wind propelled construction to grind things? If so, what does it grind that can be vast enough to have workers? Stone? Coal? Corn?

That's what's called a "mill house". Stick built, low cost. Built to house, you guessed it, local mill workers.
