Tempe Hayden Mill (1853)

Tempe Hayden Mill (1853)
Hayden Mill (in foreground) built in 1918 and grain elevator/silos built in 1951. Tempe was once a small, rural, town where most of the grain grown in central Arizona was processed. See: www.tempe.gov/city-hall/community-development/historic-preservation/hayden-flour-mill-

It's odd to imagine there being enough agriculture in a place like central Arizona to justify a grain elevator this large.

I too think of Arizona as basically dry, but the silos were built in '51 after Hoover dam and the control of the Colorado river, and there are massive fields along there. Also, quite large stretches of irrigated fields along the Salt (goes through Phoenix) and Gila (east of Yuma).
