Outside the Mill City Museum built on the ruins of the Washburn A Mill. It was destroyed on May 2nd 1878 when a spark ignited airborne flour dust killing all 18 workers. Washburn later on becomes
General Mills and across the river is the Pillsbury A Mill. Minneapolis was know as the Mill city with many flour mills using the power of the Mississippi River at St Anthony Falls.
Interesting shot. It has been a well built building for the shell to stand in such good condition since 1878. I like the modern building peeping over the top.
