A three-story brick and stone planing mill and shed was built for P.S. Ford in 1907. Then in 1924 a factory building designed byKansas Cityarchitect Von Unwerth was constructed and attached to the original 1907 structure. Finally the property was modified in 1965 by the Estrin Construction Company and again in 1969 for the MO-KAN Chemical Company when two one-story additions were added to create what we see today.
