Former General Mills Purity Oats Facility, Minneapolis
Once part of the vast milling network that shaped Minneapolis’s industrial identity, this now-closed General Mills Purity Oats plant at 1201 Jackson Street NE reflects the city’s transition from global grain hub to post-industrial reuse. The modest brick complex, still bearing its original signage, served as a specialized processing site within the company’s broader cereal operations before its eventual closure. Its preservation offers a glimpse into the city’s enduring ties to the flour and oat industries that once defined the Mississippi River corridor.
