Mill City Museum, Minneapolis, USA Minnesota, North America
Mill City Museum stands out as a monument steeped in history and ornate architecture along Mississippi Riverfront in downtown Minneapolis Minnesota.
Built within ruins of once gargantuan Washburn A Mill which dominated global flour production during late 19th century remarkably.
Today museum serves as pretty powerful tribute to Minneapolis origins and its slow growth into milling and quite industrial hub.
Washburn A Mill stood tall in 1880 as a behemoth symbolizing Minneapolis' supremacy over global flour milling industry with considerable fanfare.
It stood prominently as centerpiece of city's Mill City moniker somehow earning notoriety over time rather quietly.
Over 2 million pounds of flour was processed daily by mill at peak and exported extensively worldwide mostly overseas somehow.
Flour dust ignition sparked a massively destructive explosion in 1878 annihilating original mill and killing eighteen workers instantly on site.
Reconstruction happened rapidly with bolstered safety measures and it operated till sixty five.
A fire in nineteen ninety-one further ravaged much of building after decades of utter neglect.
Minnesota Historical Society opted bizarrely to salvage ruins rather than raze them and transformed remaining shell into a museum opening officially in 2003.
Museum exemplifies adaptive reuse architecture stunningly in its layout and design.
MSR Design conceived this project which melds roughly hewn stone walls of historic Washburn A Mill with sleek steel glass and concrete.
Weathered mill walls surround one of its most iconic visual features an open courtyard with faded grandeur somehow remaining intact.
