Flour Mill Lofts
The Flour Mill Lofts, formerly known as The Pride of the Rockies
Flour Mill, is located in Denver’s Central Platte Valley neighborhood. The building was
constructed in 1920 and only the mill building and three storage bins survive
from the large grain processing complex. The Flour Mill is the last surviving
structure of its type representing this aspect of Denver’s early 20th century milling industry.
The building was added and to the National Register of Historic Places in
1995.
For years, the Flour Mill sat abandoned and covered in graffiti.
Then, in 1998, the building was thoroughly renovated and restored in two phases.
Phase 1 included the original mill building, the shorter of the two buildings
shown in the photos, and the three grain silos. The building is comprised of 17
lofts with several of them utilizing the original silos as part of their
floorplan.
Phase 2 was completed in 2000 and is a new 30-unit luxury
loft complex designed and constructed with similar architectural features. Other
features of Flour Mill Lofts include secure building entry through parking
garage, state-of-the-art windows with low emissions glass designed to match the
historic scale and proportions of the existing windows, hardwood floors
throughout, 12′ to 16′ high ceilings, acoustically insulated separate walls,
polished chrome fixtures and guest parking on the upper deck of parking
garage.
