Renovating a 160 yr old flour mill into our home

8 years ago
last modified: 8 years ago

Renovations and decorating inside a 160 year old flour mill. ยท More Info

We saved a piece of history in our area in SW Wisconsin. An old flour mill was destined for destruction and we took it and moved it to property we owned a few miles down the road from where it originally stood. We have been working on it for over 3 yrs now and have been able to call it our home as of November 2015. We still have many things to do, but they are minor in comparison of what we started with. Here are a few photos of before and after.
