In this delicate watercolor, Minson captures Utah Valley’s historic Lehi Roller Mills. A dark greenish-gray sky hovers above, casting shadows across the scene. A large red truck parks by the building while laborers appear to partner up to load and haul inventory. The artist includes soft details to capture a narrative.
Lehi Roller Mills is a locally operated flour mill located in Lehi, Utah. Notably, it was used as a filming location for the 1984 film Footloose. The original building was constructed in 1905 and has since undergone construction. In 1994, the Roller Mills was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
