Pictures by: Mary Adams 2006 - View of the Lexington Mill looking northwest. The origianl grain mill, 1900-1910, later became the Landmark Farm Bureau Mill. Three sides of the mill were sided with paver bricks in the 1940's,derived from Lexington' streets as they were converted to asphalt, a better use of the bricks than to just pave over them. Paving over would just result in a bumpy street eventually. This way, the mill walls became even more secure and fortified structurally.
