Rising above the century-old cobblestones of Saint Anthony Main Street stands the historic Pillsbury A-Mill, a physically impressive reminder of the origins of the city of Minneapolis and the landmark structure from which the “Mill City” and surrounding metropolitan area would eventually spring forth.
The A-Mill, built on the East Bank of the Mississippi River in 1880, utilized power derived from the river to drive its mill. Once the largest flour milling operation in the world, the facility produced flour until 2003, when operations were shut down. The mill sat vacant for the next several years and the building deteriorated. In 2011, the National Trust for Historic Preservation included the mill on its list of 11 Most Endangered Places.
However, recent trends renewed interest in Minneapolis’ urban core, and along with it, new demand for affordable housing, providing an opportunity to reuse the Pillsbury A-Mill in a way that supports Minneapolis and its burgeoning artistic culture. In 2013, the Pillsbury Mill was acquired with a plan to revitalize the complex into 251 affordable artist apartments now known as A-Mill Artist Lofts, bringing new life to the St. Anthony Falls Historic District for years to come.
