“Imagine trying to explain the location and
meaning of “Mill Avenue”
without the very structures and icon that gave rise to this modern
community.”
- Mayor Hugh Hallman
1917
PLANS DISCOVERED
During archival research, the
archaeologist working with Archaeological Consulting Services on the
Flour Mill discovered the
original construction plans for the current mill
building. The plans are dated September 1917 and were drawn by Royal Lescher and John Kibby Architects. Of interest, the mill building was
originally planned to have an elevator. The plans also provide additional
details that will be valuable in understanding the history of the building
and help with its adaptive re-use and rehabilitation.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL WORK
Archaeological fieldwork continued
on site through spring 2007.
Updates on findings appear on
this site under the
NEWS section.
PUBLIC SAFETY NOTICE
Please note that the site is closed to the
public for the duration of the work
as there will be open trenches and hazardous conditions throughout the
property. Three public meetings will be hosted to offer opportunities for
residents to talk to the archaeology team. They will be posted as they are scheduled.
