The Creston Milling Company was established in 1882. The mill was five stories high and was located on the south side of West Erie Street, extending to the Erie Railroad. The company manufactured roller-process flour and had a capacity of 175 barrels every twenty-four hours. In 1901, it was sold to Frank Brothers, and it became a cereal mill. In 1903 it burned to the ground, but the smoke stack (visible on the right) was not razed until 1917.
