A colourized aerial photograph of the Snider Flour Mill (also known as the St. Jacobs Mill) and the St. Jacobs Mill Elevators, on King Street North in St. Jacobs, Ontario.
The bridge over the Conestoga River is clearly visible in the image. A truck is seen parked in the loading bay area. Five automobiles are visible.
Elias Weber Bingeman Snider purchased the mill on 31 December 1870. Under Snider's ownership, the mill was the first in Canada to introduce the roller milling system, which replaced millstones with steel rollers.
This photo was taken before the renovations were done in 1951.
This photograph is in excellent condition.
