In the early 20th century, flour mills like this one contributed to the prosperity of local and regional economies, and influenced the wider grain economy of Saskatchewan and the West.

Il à conservé la quasi-totalité de son équipement d'origine, ce qui en fait un example rare et complete d'une période de technologie meunière cruciale à l'industrie céréalière. Ces minoteries attiraient colons et entrepreneurs, favorisant l'établissement et la croissance de nombreuses localités, dont Esterhazy. Au début du XXe ciècle, de tels moulins à farine ont contribué à la prospérité locale et régionale ainsi qu'àl'éconmie céréalière de la Saskatchewan et de l'Ouest.
