Washburn-Crosby Milling Complex, Feed Elevator, 715 South First Street, Minneapolis, Hennepin County, MN

Significance: The Feed Elevator is a part of the larger Washburn-Crosby Milling Complex. Situated on the west side of the Mississippi River near the historic St. Anthony Falls. The Washburn-Crosby Milling Complex is the last surviving milling complex on that side of the river, which once was the heart of the Minneapolis milling district and which gave rise to Minneapolis' title of flour milling capital of the world in the late 19th and early 20th century. The Feed Elevator was constructed to expand the storage capabilities for the mill complex. It has been continually used for storage by General Mills, Inc. and is still being used by them.
