Summary

Significance: The Sperry Flour Company warehouses are the oldest remaining structures of the original Puget Sound Flouring Mills opened by William S. Ladd, one of Portland's most prominent 19th century industrialists, in 1889 and sold to the Sperry Flour Company in 1922. The Building represents the first of the waterfront mills which was part of a continuous industrial complex along Commencement Bay from City Waterway to Point Defiance. The structure represents 70 years of milling and grain transport operations which ended in the early 1960s.
