Pictures by: Jim Miller 07/24/2004 - A picture featuring the northeast side of the mill. To the far rear of the mill, the Greeley/Loveland Canal supplied water from the Big Thompson River for operating power. The Big Thompson River combines with the Little Thompson River and flows into the S.Platte River several miles southeast of Greeley, Co. In later years, power was changed to steam as is evidenced by the smoke stack.
