Pittsford Flour Mill Building
This view is looking across the Erie Canal in Pittsford toward the newly renovated Pittsford Flour Mill Building which is in the Schoen Place area. First a little history about the building: After being built in 1882, the mill was sold in 1921 and the name was changed from Pittsford Milling Co. to Victor Four Mills. The main accompanying silo was built in 1937 and was part of a cluster of four. After switching hands again in 1951 the building was used as a wheat and bean wholesale operation until 1996 and then it went on the market again. However, by then the old building wasn't in very good shape. Now we move up to 2004, the property was sold again but this time there was a goal of totally renovating the old building into office space. After two years of waiting for approval work began after an agreement was reached with the village in Feb. 2006. The building has indeed been renovated -- it has three floors with a central staircase and an elevator that runs up the middle. Each level has a conference area in addition to large cubicle sections for personal workspace. Windows on the north side of the building overlook the Erie Canal while thiose on the south side of the building look at the back of Schoen place. The next phase is to renovate the silo thats adjacent to the mill.
