Last summer I took a photo of it for a then-and-now that I never got around to posting, so here you go:

The first photo is undated and shows the building as some point during its long use as a restaurant. You can view the original at the Merrillville/Ross Township Historical Society museum.
The second dates to August 2013. The building was standing empty then, but still had the signage from its days as the Old Mill Restaurant.

Sadly, the Old Mill was demolished by the town in late January of 2019. Tentative plans are to make the site a "green space" with a possible gazebo.
Here is an article in the NWI Times, dated Nov 1, 2018 and updated feb 2, 2019 that tells a little of the property's history, as well as 3 pictures of the demolition.
