Historic name: Elgin Cotton Oil Mill (built c. 1906)

About This Property

Operating since 1906 this mill still uses machinery that presses the seed to obtain the oil without using chemicals for processing. Originally, a cooperative called the Elgin Cotton Oil Company, E.O. Lundgren purchased the mill in the mid 1930s. It is currently operated by a third generation of the Lundgren family. One of four in Texas and one of 12 in the U.S., the mills processes cotton seed, provides grain storage, and retail feed sales. The A-frame buildings with the tall roof lines store cotton.
