Heritage Parkscape: Capitol Milling Company
Posted: August 13th, 2008
The Capitol Milling Company, built in 1831, is the oldest extant manufacturer in Los Angeles. Located on North Spring Street in Chinatown, the flour mill’s wheels were originally powered by water from the Zanja Madre, which ran along Alameda and North Main Streets. The company is said to be the oldest privately owned company in Los Angeles.
