Harmony Lumber Mill
From northern edge of Fort Collin, procede 1000' south of the Cache La Poudre River bridge on College Ave./SR 14/US 287, turn left on Willow St. Go for about 0.45 miles. The mill is on right at junction with Lincoln Ave.
The Harmony Lumber Mill building, a structure of 4 stories of brick in addition to a basement of stone, was constructed in 1886.
The outer dimensions are 40' X 50'. The building was situated very near the railroad tracks, making it an easy place to ship out finished lumber.
The sign indicates the presence of stalks of grain, wheat or barley. This may mean that the mill was a grain mill early on before its lumber days, or just merely the result of it's across-the-street location from the earlier yet, and present day, Lindell Grist & Flour Mill.
An old RR Freight Depot on the other end of Willow St. at Linden St. was later part of the lumber wharehouse for Harmony Lumber Mill.
