NOTES
Additional Information:SIMPLE MILL BLDG WITH PRESSED METAL SIDING PRODUCED "BOHEMIAN RYE FLOUR". In photo and/or map codes, (F) stands for Fox River Valley Survey. Negatives filed with survey project. NAER INVENTORY (07/1979): The Denmark Feed & Farm Supply consists of a one-and-a-half to three-story irregular shaped frame building with metal siding. Roofing appears to be shingle and is a combination gable and shed. The facility measures approximately 42' x 75', and has loading docks on its southwest side and a foundation of at least partially cement/cement block. This building was constructed in 1909 by Albert Skornichka and was known as the Denmark Flour Mill, producing "Bohemian Rye Flour." In the late 1930's or early 1940's the facility was converted to a feed mill. Donald Krubsack has owned the building since 1966 and produces custom feed mixes for farmers.
