The rebuilt 1863 mill is a frame 4.5 story mill measuring about 50' across the front and 40' along the side. This mill replaced a stone grist mill built John Hollingsworth in 1775 and operated continuously until it burned in 1860.

Many additions and grain storage silos are clustered to the west of the original mill. The mill was owned by the Uhlmann Company through 1989, and operated as Wheatena Corporation and Standard Milling Company.

View of the complex from the NW. In the 1960, Uhlhmann obtained ownership of Maltex Corporation and Maypo cereal, owned by Heublein, Inc. ConAgra leased the Highspire Complex a year later. ConAgra eventually bought The rights to produce Maypo cereal in 2000.

The headquarters of the mill complex, now a division of ConAgra Foods. The Highspire mill and Maypo brand was sold in 2001 to William Stadtlander, new owner of Homestat Farm, Ltd. Maypo is still produced at the Highspire plant, the sweet maple scent wafting through the streets of Highspire.

The ditch in the foreground channels Laurel Run past the mill. The original mill may have been water-powered, then steam, but definitely electricity driven now.

The smaller probably original office for the cereal mill. The larger house with the ConAgra Foods sign was probably the original miller's house.

Another parting view of the mills front facade. Some repair work has evedently been done around the stacked doors beneath the catshead.
