Gold Medal Flour Grain Elevator, Mill City Museum, Minneapolis
Taken November 2018
The Mill City Museum in Minneapolis is housed in the former Washburn "A" Grain Elevator, a structure that was once the largest flour mill in the world. The museum preserves and interprets the history of the mill and the city's flour milling industry, which was central to Minneapolis's development. The grain elevator, built in 1880, is a prominent example of industrial architecture from the era. Today, the museum offers exhibits on the milling process, the lives of mill workers, and the impact of the industry on the city's growth and identity.
