| Title | Streetsboro Street #36 - Turner Lumber & Supply Company |
| Description | Edgar B. Ellsworth (1815-1883) built this lumber mill in the 1850s. The building has served many purposes throughout its long history. For a few years, until 1873, the building was used as a chair factory. Then it was converted into use as a flour mill. Since then, several millers have occupied the building, most notably Ernest L. Fillius (1857-1921), who took possession in 1890. Fillius extensively renovated the building. It was used as a flour mill until the 1930s, when it became the Turner Lumber & Supply Co. Although that business was dissolved in 1969, the building is still known as "Turner's Mill" to honor its long history as a flour mill and Turner's lumber company. It has since been renovated and used for commercial purposes. Several restaurants have occupied the space. |
