The 30-foot-tall wooden structure was built to receive and process wheat, then package, store, and distribute the flour marketed as Arva-Pride. Corrugated metal siding and roofing has helped this three-story, gambrel-roofed antique survive. In 1980, three decades after the mill closed, the Arvada Historical Society restored and reopened it as a museum.
