The record places this factory beside the Pillsbury A Mill, which puts it in Minneapolis's milling district along the Mississippi River at St. Anthony Falls. The dams listed among its subjects reflect how the falls powered the city's mills and factories in the early 1900s. The two glass negatives form a pair, likely a wide view captured across two exposures, and they come from the Detroit Publishing Company, whose photographers documented American cities, industry and landscapes around 1900 to 1910.
