Pillsbury A-Mill conversion on the Mississippi River

Pillsbury A-Mill on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, with its rooftop flour sign above the former mill complex.
The Pillsbury A-Mill stands on the east bank of the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, with its rooftop “Pillsbury’s Best Flour” sign visible above the former milling complex. Completed in 1881, the mill was a major part of the flour industry that grew around nearby St. Anthony Falls, where water power drove large-scale grain processing. The brick industrial buildings are seen alongside newer residential towers and the St. Anthony Falls Laboratory, showing the mix of historic industry, research facilities, and redevelopment along the riverfront.
