Thoman Mill, Lansing

Description:

The Thoman Mill on Ottawa Street was built in 1869, by Fred Thoman and his brother-in-law F. J. Reitz. The mill mainly processed grain into flour, but also supplied steam, water, and power for the city. It lasted almost a century at that location before being demolished in 1957 for a parking lot. Also shows the Morley Boarding House at right. The photograph was likely taken by F. N. Bovee, who signed <a href="https://cadl.pastperfectonline.com/childbylink?id=D18D3E23-B05E-4E41-95B8-235051420967">this version of the same image</a>.
