- Eagle Valley Feed Mill
- A photograph of the Eagle Valley Feed Mill in downtown Eagle. Edward A. Michael operated the mill between 1912 and 1920, when he sold to Andrew Christensen. Railroad tracks can be seen in the foreground, making this a good location for business and shipment. This photograph is sometime between 1917 and 1920 after the Michael family expanded their operations to stable and livery (the second building with a sign on top reads ""GARAGE LIVERY AND FEED STABLE"). Several wagons can be seen out front of the livery. A caption on the back reads "Eagle Valley Feed Mill Eagle, Colo. E.A. Michael and wife Edna Dewey Michael".
