Springfield Mill, also known as the Piper-Streeper Mill, is a historic gristmill located along the Wissahickon Creek in Erdenheim, Springfield Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. It is a building on the Bloomfield Farm tract,[2] now part of Morris Arboretum.

The mill was built in 1854, and is a ​3 12-story, stone-and-frame mill building measuring 35 feet, 3 inches, by 40 feet, 8 inches. The mill was built on the foundations of an earlier mill built in 1761. Also on the property is the miller's house; a ​2 12-story, four-bay building built about 1845 in the Greek Revival style.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
