South part of the area taken from the West - Knox & Taylor Butte can be seen in the distance. The tall building is the, Cottage Grove Flour Mill, on River Road. To the bottom left of the flour mill you can see the church building that is now, St. Andrews Episcopal Church on West Main Street, it was first built for the Seventh Day Adventist congregation.

This is a great winter shot of Cottage Grove’s westside, you can get a feel for what the early Northwest Neighborhood looked like around 1917. The Cottage Grove Flour Mill had the tallest building at the time. The mill was established in 1891. What kind of power was used to run the flour mill when it first opened?
