flour mills
Grain grinding facilities
Flour mills are facilities where grain—typically wheat—is ground into flour.
The term covers everything from small stone-grinding operations to massive industrial plants.
Historically, mills were powered by water or wind; modern flour mills use steel rollers and automated systems to process thousands of tons daily.
The old flour mills along the river have been converted to apartments.
