Caldwell Flour Mills is named in the title itself, which points to a milling operation rather than a working farm, even though the gallery board files it under barns and farms. Mills like this one were a common fixture in American towns and along rivers, where grain grown on nearby farms was ground into flour for local bakers and for shipment to larger markets. The phrase "high grade flour" on the sign was a commercial claim, since millers competed on the reputation of their product, and the building itself often shows the scale and wooden construction typical of the period.
