Photographs of buildings at the former Pillsbury Mills site taken before demolition are available online.
The photographs were taken for the Lincoln Library Sangamon Valley Collection to document the structures.
Photographer Ben Halpern used a traditional 4-by-5-inch box camera with film plates to capture the images between November 2022 and November 2024.
The images were also digitized. A link to the images is at WMAY.com.
A Pillsbury historical context report is also available in the Sangamon Valley Collection and at pillsburyproject.org.
Moving Pillsbury Forward reported a 10,000-pound wrecking ball has been working over the past several days on demolishing the north silos.
