Listed by Wilson Realty & Auction Service, the iconic H.D. Lee Flour Mill in downtown Salina, along with three lots, is up for grabs. Standing at 100 feet tall, the mill and elevators date back to the late 1800s, serving as the original site for H.D. Lee Flour Mills Co. operations since 1899.
Under various ownerships, the mill closed in 2019. In 2021, the elevators gained fame for a $250,000 mural by Australian artist Guido van Helten, part of the Salina Kanvas project. The property, featuring the elevators, mill, and two lots, is available for purchase at $140,000. This historic site offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Salina's industrial legacy.
Staff at Wilson Realty & Auction stated that as far as they were aware nothing is protecting the mural from being painted over or even preventing the new property owner from demolishing the grain silos.
