Gypsum Flour Mill

Description

As the Doll Brothers ranch grew in size, brothers Frank and Sam built this three-story flour mill, circa 1900. "Considered modern in its time, the mill ground all wheat produced in the area, putting out 80 barrels a day. The mill even imported wheat to grind. After the mill burned, suspicion followed that the fire had been deliberately set by disgruntled businessmen in the area." -- Shirley Welch, The Eagle River Valley, p.114 [Title supplied from catalog prepared by the Eagle County Historical Society.]
