horse on a roof

 

What would you expect to be the subject matter of the decorative painting on a feed mill that supplies meal for farm animals -- an elephant?  The horse appears in better shape than the roof.  Economy Mills was featured here on May 26.

 

Economy Mills

211 15th Street

Lubbock, Texas

established 1925

 

At the corner of deadend Avenue B and deadend 15th Street (so stated on the streets signs!) is Economy Mills.  While the streets may dead-end, the mill is located on the railroad tracks and around the corner from the infamous former Lubbock hogpens.  A decade or so, the facility decided to spruce up with decorative painting to enhance its status along the interstate.  Unfortunately, a fire broke out a year or so later and no further renovations were undertaken.
