I spent the afternoon at the Blackwell Flour Mill in Blackwell, Oklahoma. Timber and Beam Solutions http://www.timberandbeam.com/ and West Construction of Tulsa, Oklahoma are dismantling the mill and reclaiming all construction materials.
Tonight, July 24, on Tulsa News Channel 6, at 10:00 pm, Scott Thompson will have a feature story on the Blackwell Flour Mill.
According to their project website: http://www.blackwellflourmill.com/
"Timber and Beam Solutions, along with West Construction, has the privilege to reclaim one of the oldest and largest wooden structures in Oklahoma. The Blackwell Flour Mill was established in 1885. Western Oklahoma was built on wheat, and farmers for miles around brought their wheat to be milled. This iconic structure helped families to survive The Great Depression and The Dust Bowl by supplying bread to the hungry. Being an essential organ to the heartbeat of America, it would be wonderful to bring awareness of reclaiming this building to the public."
Thank you Dean West and crew for showing me around the site. Over the coming days, I will be posting a few photographs of the mill.
