Flour Milling District, Minneapolis, Minnesota, circa 1910

About this postcard

The card labels the view "Flour Milling District, Minneapolis, Minn. — Largest in the World," showing a dense row of mill buildings along the Mississippi River with a truss bridge and smokestacks. Minneapolis became a leading flour-milling center in the late nineteenth century, using water power from St. Anthony Falls; the district's mills made the city known as the flour milling capital of the world.
