Thx so much
FredH, I've got a real soft spot for Capitol:
Original building by Abel Stearns, 1831, rebuilt in bricks imported from Philadelphia in 1855 with millstones from France for "Eagle Mill', then "Deming Mill".
Capitol Mill founded here in 1883. Morgan & Walls were architects for the 1898 additions.
Building shuttered when the company moved to larger premises in Colton in 1998. ConAgra acquired Capitol Milling in 1999.
