THE SWEENY FEED MILL

This mill is historically significant because of its association with owner Andrew McClelland, manager Joseph F. Sprengle, and James Koller Sweeny as well as for its association with the development of Pueblo as Colorado’s principal industrial center. It is indicative of the agricultural-and extraction-based processing industries that once dominated the city’s economy, but are now increasingly rare. The Sweeny Feed Mill is an early example of industrial “curtain wall” construction using minimal structural components throughout the building in place of the more commonly used wood framing or heavy masonry construction. The Elevator/Grain-Hay storage building is unique in its “crib” construction, which consists of flat-stacked 2-by 6-inch boards. Designated 8-26-06.
