Schoen Place, Pittsford, NY

Flour milling, one of Pittsford's primary businesses in the nineteenth century,
occurred here until the 1930s. After Grandin Vogt sold the mill to Henry Perrigo
early in this century, it was expanded and became an important regional producer of flour.
The capacity of the mill which had been about 20 barrels a day was increased to
over 1000 barrels per day. Ted Zornow bought the complex in 1952 for use as part
of his grain wholesaling business. Wheat, red kidney beans, oats and black beans from
area farmers were processed, bagged, and shipped by railroad to food processors throughout
the eastern United States. This business continued to operate until 1997. It now is used as
office space for various businesses.
