In 1881, the mill was run by a steam engine. In 1912 the mill went bankrupt.

In the 1970's it was a being used as a feed mill. In 1994 it was purchased and refurbished, and in 1995, it was opened to house shoppes.

The street in the forground is Grant Street, which meets E. Sugartree St. just to the right of the photo.

Storage shed behind the mill along the tracks was used to make barrewls at one time.

The mill is an antique emporium today. Notice the faded lettering, above the antique sign, that read: A. H. Barret & Son. Above that is a smaller script, saying "CHECK R-MIX".

Looking at the original exterior wall, now enclosed as part of the mill. Notice the reinforcing bolts threaded through the star shaped nuts.

Some charred structural timbers left as they were after a fire in 1947, that caused some damage to the mill structure. The outside of one of the grain bins is seem on the right, built of tightly nailed two X fours.

Two grain bins used for grain storage. The grain was kept here prior to mixing as part of a livestock feed ration.

A series of grain pipes radiating from a central hopper. Grain was elevated by bucket elevators or perhaps later by forced air pressure to the top central hopper, then small gates or shunts closed or opened the appropriate pipe/tubing to relocate the grain to the desired location to be mixed into a formulation of livestock feed.

A small Fairbanks Morse scale used to weigh a handtruck/feedcart piled up with 1-4 bags of feed.
