Mill buildings line the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, with a truss bridge and smokestacks in view. The printed caption calls the district "Largest in the World." Minneapolis became a leading flour-milling center in the late nineteenth century, using water power from St. Anthony Falls; its mills made the city known as the flour milling capital of the world.
