M&T-115 Aerial View.jpg (below)
This cluttered roof view looks southwesterly, showing the Milling Company and the Shoe Factory.

M&T-118 Sparr Cereal Co..jpg (below)
The Banner Mills were sold sometime in the 1920's (??not certain on that) and became the Sparr Cereal Co. View looks Northeast. The Upham Furniture Factory would have been behind the photographer.

M&T-119 Old Milling Co. Offices.jpg (below)
The original Milling Company offices were housed in this structure. When the Milling Co. needed better office space, this old home was moved out. I can't tell you where it went, though, or if it's still extant today.

M&T-120.jpg (below)
Back out on the M&T again, this view looks southwards towards the Shoe Factory. The warehouse on the right belonged to the Milling company and was referred to as "The Conkey Warehouse" because that was where the Conkey Feeds were stored when the Milling company handled Conkey Feeds.

There was a spur that branched off the spur up in to this side of Weinbrenner that ran in alongside the Conkey Warehouse, but that was pulled out sometime in the late ' 50's.

M&T-121.jpg (below)
This is the spur that ran up alongside the west side of the Milling Company and up along side the eastern side of Weinbrenner Shoe Co. as I mentioned on M&T-120, another spur came off not far from where I stodd to take this shot and ran up alongside that warehouse in the background.

M&T-122.jpg (below)
I guess I was smart (mark that on the calendar) in that I took the time to extensively photograph the Milling Company before it was torn down. I just wish I had used a 35mm Camera instead of the Brownie, but, as Ron Hanneman says, a photograph made with whatever is better than NO photograph at all.

This is the rear of the warehouse along the Weinbrenner spur. You'll notice hodge-podge additions as we go along.

M&T-123.jpg (below)
Looking a little farther along at the Milling Company along the Weinbrenner Spur.

Carloads were placed along this side of the Milling Company as well, off itens like Decorative Bark, shingles, fencing and some bagged feeds.

M&t-124.jpg (below)
Loking a little farther along the Milling Co's west side. Note the "Snow Fencing" stored unguarded on the dock out in the weather.
