"The rough, sawed timber framed J. C. Barren Flour Mill stands three and one-half stories in height in the northern portion of the small farming community of Oakesdale. The entire flour mill building is a composite of four semi-detached structures. They are: the flour mill proper (1890), former steam generating plant (1890), crib elevator (1898) and a grain and flour warehouse (circa 1890). The rectangular-shaped adjuncts to the milling operation were erected as wings to the mill proper and, as such, yield an irregular-shaped plan to the entirety." (visit link)
