A mill for a new century

摘要

When Francis Luerssen Ⅲ took over as facility technician at the Flour Mill, the 120-year-old brick building was something of a time capsule. Inside was a mishmash of machinery, old and new, cobbled together since renovations began to make it a retail space for multiple tenants about the time of the world's fair in 1974. Air conditioning units had been jammed in windows, and some were run all winter long. Machine timers were simply broken. Components of the HVAC system hadn't been touched in 30 years.
