130 W. 3rd St, – Loveland Farmers Milling Elevator Company

(Known as Loveland Feed and Grain)

This historic flour mill represents Loveland’s oldest industry and is the only structure in Loveland made of stone, brick, wood, and corrugated sheet metal. The mill was constructed in 1891 as the Loveland Farmers Milling & Elevator Company and started production a year later. Lee J. Kelim bought the business in 1893, when the name was changed to the Big Thompson Milling & Elevator Company. In 1968, local ranchers purchased the building and operated it as Loveland Feed & Grain until its closure in 2004. Currently, efforts are underway to revitalize and repurpose the weathered structure.
