Pillsbury A Mill

The Pillsbury A Mill building in downtown Minneapolis sits right alongside the Mississippi River- which was a perfect location to build up power from the Saint Anthony Waterfalls. When it was built in 1881 as one of the most advanced flour mills in the world (at the time!). They were able to produce 17,500 barrels of flour a day! It is a National Historic Landmark and is the only building of the original four large mills that sat in Minneapolis at the peak of flour milling. Today it sits empty, but stately and beautiful. Soon to become a remodel project that will turn it into lofts and living space for those that want to live near the heart of downtown Minneapolis.
